Suspension of Labour Strike Premature, Doesn’t Show Seriousness – LP

From Adanna Nnamani, Abuja

The Labour Party (LP) has criticised the Organised Labour for prematurely calling off its indefinite nationwide strike, saying that the action reflected a lack of seriousness of the party of the unions.

LP National Youth leader, Kennedy Ahanotu stated this in a post on his Twitter handle on Tuesday.

The Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC), and the Trade Union Congress (TUC), on Monday, after several failed negotiations with the federal government, embarked on a nationwide indefinite strike over the refusal of the government to reverse the recent electricity tariff increase and failure to reach an agreement on the new minimum wage.

Taking to his X page, Ahanotu wrote: “Suspension of the NLC/TUC nationwide strike too early. It does not show seriousness. Workers must sustain at least 3 days of industrial action. We must force the government to be sensible. Has the government reversed any decision?”
