The Joint NationalPublic Service Negotiating Council has asked Nigerians to appeal to the FederalGovernment to implement the new minimum wage to avoid an imminent industrialcrisis.
The organised labour,under the stewardship of Trade Union Side TUS of the council, made the call inAbuja.
TUS Acting ChairmanAnchaver Simon and Secretary Alade Lawal, in a statement, said efforts by theunions to persuade the government to implement the new minimum wage withappropriate consequential adjustment had proved abortive.
They said the TUS hadgiven the government enough time to come to term with workers’ demand, but thatit appeared the only language necessary for government to act is strike.
They said the unionwould give no further notice to the government before public servants in thestates commence strike over the non-implementation of the new minimum wage andappropriate consequential adjustment.
