Organized labour unions, the Nigerian Labour Congress (NLC) and the Trade Union (TUC) counterpart, have embarked on a two-day warning strike over the new minimum wage.
Why labour declared 2-day strike
The industrial action taking place in Cross River state was to protest the non-implementation of the newly approved N70,000 minimum wage.
As reported by TVC News, the exercise is ongoing across the metropolis and there is a high level of compliance with the strike directive.
All government offices were found to be closed, with workers absent from their duty posts.
The unions’ decision to embark on the warning strike is aimed at pressing the state government to implement the new minimum wage, which was recently approved by the Federal Government.
TheTalk.NG reported that Cross River state governor, Senator Bassey Edet Otu, earlier urged organised labour to call off their two-day warning strike over the non-implementation of the new minimum wage.
The state-wide strike, which is scheduled to begin at midnight on Sunday, November 24, is expected to conclude on Tuesday, November 26, 2024.
