Presidency Issues Statement On Nlc’s Nationwide Strike (full Text) by Naijabams(m): 9:34am On May 18, 2016 |
The federal government of Nigeria has implored labour unions in the country not to go ahead with its planned strike for Wednesday, 18th May 2016. Read Below: OFFICE OF THE SECRETARY TO THE GOVERNMENT OF THE FEDERATION PRESS RELEASE PROPOSED INDEFINITE STRIKE ACTION BY THE NIGERIA LABOUR CONGRESS The attention of all Public Officers is drawn to the notice issued by the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) to embark on an indefinite strike from Wednesday, 18th May, 2016. This notice is regrettably given in spite of an Order by the Industrial Court against the strike action. Government, therefore, calls upon and advises all workers to respect the laws of the land and to desist from participating in an illegal strike action. Government undertakes to guarantee the safety of workers and their work places, and expects that normal work will continue in the interest of the nation. Accordingly, security agencies have been directed to ensure unimpeded access to offices, work places and markets. Acts of intimidation, harassment, including barricading of gates, locking up of offices, blocking of roads and preventing workers from carrying out their lawful duties will be met with appropriate response by the law enforcement agencies. All workers, whether in public or private sector are further reminded of the Trade Dispute Act, 2004, which provides that ‘where any worker takes part in a strike, he shall not be entitled to any wages or remuneration for the period of the strike and any such period shall not count for the purpose of reckoning the period of continuous employment and all rights dependent on continuity of employment shall be prejudicially affected accordingly’. Accordingly, all Ministers, Permanent Secretaries and Heads of Government Agencies are hereby directed to invoke the provision of ‘no work no pay’ in respect of any staff who absents him or herself from work to join the strike action. Attendance registers are required to be opened in all Ministries, Departments and Agencies. Engineer Babachir David Lawal Secretary to the Government of the Federation Source:- http://www.bamsforum.com/presidency-issues-statement-nlcs-nationwide-strike-full-text.html/ 1 Like |

Hmmmm. Very interesting. Similar scenario played out in 2012 when Industrial Court of Arbitration granted an order stopping NLC from going ahead with its proposed strike. Not only did the strike go ahead, the organisers of the infamous Occupy Nigeria Protest(who are now in Buhari's govt) but worked in conjunction with NLC did not raise a hoot about the court restriction. Let's try to do good in this world. I won't say more than that. |

Government, therefore, calls upon and advises all workers to respect the laws of the land and to desist from participating in an illegal strike action. @ bold part, why is this government so hypocritical This shamless government is asking Labour to respect court orders but has consistently disobeyed court orders on more than one occasion after bail was granted to Nnamdi Kanu? Do as I say but don't do as I do. Shameless government! BTW, I support removal of fuel subsidy. 1 Like |

HurtgenForest: Truth be told, APC and Buhari have succeeded in creating an impression that what's good for the goose IS NOT good for the gander in the minds of many Nigerians. As far as it's APC any action taken by them is immune to public scrutiny and query. Very unhealthy for an egalitarian society. |
