A group under the aegis of the Campaign for Democratic and Workers’ Rights, CDWR, has urged the Organised Labour to quickly mobilise and declare a nationwide strike over the minimum wage and the recent hike in electricity tariff. This is contained in a statement by its National Publicity Secretary, Chinedu Bosah.
The group recalled that organized labour had been at loggerheads with the government and private sector over a new minimum wage, and negotiation had been deadlocked for over three weeks and still counting. It stressed that the Government and Private Sector insistence on paying N60,000 provoked the declaration of an indefinite strike which started on June 3rd 2024 but was suspended on the 4th of June, 2024.
“CDWR calls on the leadership of NLC and TUC, as the next step in the minimum wage struggle, to declare and this time mobilise widely for a 48-hour general strike and mass protest to demand a minimum wage not less than N200,000 and the reversal of all anti-poor policies .
