As the country prepares to negotiate a new national minimum wage, the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) has sought the cooperation of the Nigeria Employers’ Consultative Association (NECA) to work together to provide a living wage for Nigerian workers.
The NLC argued that a national minimum wage anchored on the objective economic realities confronting Nigerian workers was the only acceptable minimum standard.
NLC President, Joe Ajaero, said this at the second yearly adjudicatory and mediatory forum, organised by NECA, in Abuja.
Speaking on the theme ‘Strengthening Tripartism and Social Dialogue for a Sustainable Industrial Relations System in Nigeria’, the NLC chief warned all stakeholders involved in the adjudicatory process against the perils of using the mechanism as a tool for intimidation, coercion, or suppression of workers’ rights.
