BREAKING: Labour rejects FG’s fresh N60,000 minimum wage offer, insists on N494,000
The Federal Government has added a sum of N3,000 to its initially proposed N57,000 minimum wage, making it the sum of N60,000 proposed on Tuesday during a meeting of the tripartite committee on minimum wage in Abuja.
Organised labour, comprising the Trade Union Congress and the Nigeria Labour Congress, also went down by N3,000 from its last proposal of N497,000 during the last minimum wage meeting.
According to a source who gave the breakdown at the Tuesday meeting, the amount proposed by the government did not go down well with labour leaders.
A member of the union who spoke to our correspondent before the meeting started noted that organised labour would only go lower if the government went higher on its demands.
