BREAKING: Labour Plans Nationwide Strike Over Minimum Wage by agwom(m): 10:44pm On Jul 01, 2019 |
The organised labour have alerted Nigerians that plans were underway to embark on industrial action if the current state of affairs on the issue of consequential adjustment arising from the new national Minimum wage of N30,000 per month remains the same. It is operating under the aegis of the Trade Union Side (TUS) of the Joint National Public Service Negotiating Council (JNPSNC); the eight Unions in the Public Services of the Federal and 36 State Governments. In a press statement in Abuja on Monday, the TUS Acting Chairman, Mr Anchaver Simon, and the Secretary, Mr Alade Lawal, expressed disappointment by government’s effort to derail the implementation of a new National Minimum Wage. “As things are right now, the government side is only prepared to pay peanuts to workers as adjustment under the pretext that it will soon be undertaking general salary review in the Public Service.” The committee on Consequential Adjustment of Salary agreed to set up a technical body to work out different scenarios in respect of salaries that would be paid to workers who are in the Ministries, Departments and Agencies (MDAs) that draw their emoluments from the government treasury. The technical committee met severally and series of computations that were to be presented for the plenary for consideration were developed. The labour leaders stated that the TUS had initially proposed that since the minimum wage was increased by 66.66 per cent; from N18,000.000 to N30,000.00, salaries for officers on Grade Levels 01-17 should be adjusted accordingly to maintain the relativity that exists in the salary structure in the Public Service. “But when the Government side argued that such increase across board would raise the total wage bill too high, the TUS side reviewed its demand downward and eventually settled for 30 per cent for officers on Grade Levels 07-14 and 25 per cent for those on Grade Levels 15-17. “The Government side on its part was insisting on 9.5 per cent salary raise for employees on Grade Levels 07-14 and 5 per cent for those on Grade Levels 15-17. “The two sides then agreed to capture the two positions in the technical committee’s report which will now be presented for discussion at the plenary.” According to the TUS, it received a rude shock at the last meeting of the Technical Committee when the government side began to hold on to a non-existent position that the Technical Committee’s term of reference was to base its assignment in respect of salary adjustment on what was provided for it in the 2019 budget. It regretted that the implication of Government’s position was that the Technical Committee cannot go beyond what the Government was pushing for which is 9.5 per cent salary increase for officers on GL 07-14 and 5 per cent for those on GL 15-17. “With this turn of event, it is quite clear now that some fifth columnists in this administration are hell bent on pushing President Muhammadu Buhari to enter into a collision course with millions of Nigerian workers in the Public Service. This is very sad,” the Union stated. The TUS recalled that after the Ama Pepple committee recommended N30,000 monthly new National Minimum Wage, the Government Side went to the press to announce that the negotiation was inconclusive. “This is why the eight Trade Unions in the Public Service have resolved that enough is enough and that if the Federal Government fails to call its officials to order and direct them to negotiate openly the issue of Consequential Adjustment arising from the new National Minimum Wage, millions of workers at the Federal and 36 States Public Services will have no other alternative than to take some necessary Trade Union actions to seek redress. “The time for President Buhari to act is now,” the Union emphasised. Meanwhile, a meeting of officials of the TUS of the Joint National Public Service Negotiating Council across the Federation is being arranged with the sole aim of setting the records straight. At the same time TUS is preparing for appropriate Trade Union measures to be deployed to get justice for public service employees.

Lies and deceit always. Make i summarise. Minimum wage increased to ~N~ 30,000 from 18,000, which is 66.66% increase. So salaries for officers on Grade Levels 01-17 should be adjusted accordingly. But the Government argued that such increase across board would raise the total wage bill too high. Then Labour reviewed its demand downward and eventually settled for 30% increase for officers on Grade Levels 07-14 and 25% for those on Grade Levels 15-17. The Government said it can only pay 9.5% for employees on Grade Levels 07-14 and 5% for those on Grade Levels 15-17. A committee was then set up by govt. to negotiate further with labour. Labour insisted on 30% and 25%, Govt. Committee said they can't go beyond what the government proposed which 9.5% and 5%. So we are back to square one. No minimum wage anytime soon. 138 Likes 4 Shares |

Integrity is when a man's word is his bond. This is why we always tell zombies that Buhari is nothing but a liar and terrorist. And before any zombie blames state governments for non-implementation, please ask yourself why the FG is yet to start the implementation on its own part. It took Buhari's government three good years to arrive at a minimum wage for Nigerian workers, and almost three months after enacting the minimum wage, his government is still setting up a committee to discuss implementation. Little wonder he's been declared the winner in online polls as NIGERIA's worst president ever. He even scored nearly 70% of the votes cast for him, GEJ, OBJ and Yar'adua. Lastly, can any zombie recall how long it took GEJ's government to arrive at a minimum wage and even start the implementation? 39 Likes 3 Shares |
