FG To Meet NLC Over Planned Indefinite Strike
The Federal Government has again invited the Nigerian Labour Congress (NLC) for another meeting over its planned indefinite strike.
This is contained in a statement issued by Mr Simon Lalong, the Minister of Labour and Employment.
Lalong had on Sept. 4, invited NLC and the Trade Union Congress (TUC) for a meeting to avert the earlier two-day nationwide warning strike.
Only the TUC had showed up for the meeting.
Lalong said that he had directed the Department of Trade Unions Services and Industrial Relations to convene the meeting with the leadership of the NLC on Monday.
He said it was important for the unions to sit with government to resolve all pending matters to avert further disruption to the economy.
“The administration of President Bola Tinubu will always engage the organised labour and respond to its concerns after due consultation and negotiations.
“This is in order to guarantee industrial harmony which is critical to the attainment of the Renewed Hope Agenda,” Lalong said.
