=========================================
The organised labour will tomorrow (midnight of Wednesday) commence a nationwide warning strike to compel the Federal Government (FG) in the ongoing negotiations over a new national minimum wage.
The strike option was agreed by the leadership of the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC), Trade Union Congress of Nigeria (TUC) and United Labour Congress of Nigeria (ULC) after an emergency meeting in Lagos State.
A statement released yesterday by the NLC addressed to all industrial unions and all NLC state councils, informed them of the commencement of a nationwide warning strike in respect of the non-implementation of the National Minimum Wage, effective from midnight of Wednesday, September 26, 2018.
The statement by the NLC Secretary General, Dr. Peter Ozo-Eson directed all industrial unions and state councils to commence mobilization immediately for an effective strike action nation-wide.
It would be recalled that the organised labour has been advocating for an upward review of the workers' minimum wage from N18,000 to N56,000.
