The Nation Newspaper Labour to Fed Govt: put workers first
Through the Trade Union Congress and the Nigeria Labour Congress , organised labour knocked the government for what it called “unilaterally increasing electricity tariff without due consultation with stakeholders”.
Ajaero, who was represented by a deputy president of the NLC, Audu Amba, spoke at a pre-May Day lecture yesterday in Abuja.The NLC president noted that Nigerian workers, despite the challenges they faced, were determined to build a better future for all. “As we strive to put the people first, we must address the pressing issues that affect the daily lives of Nigerians and workers across various sectors.“We must demand fairness in the allocation of the nation’s resources and fair wages that reflect the true value of labour, ensuring that no worker is left behind or forced to live in poverty.
He said: “We have unfair labour practices in this country because of obsolete labour laws which have been in existence since 2005. The Federal Government, if truly it wants to put workers first, must understand that any nation with obsolete labour laws has opened windows for an industrial crisis.
