the industrial action slated for Wednesday will go on as planned.
The labour union made its position known after walking out of a
meeting with representatives of the federal government Tuesday night
in Abuja.
This is contrary to the agreement the Joe Ajaero-led faction of the
Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) had with the federal government team led
by Edo State Governor Adams Oshiomhole.
Oshiomhole while the addressing journalists said the union reached an
agreement with federal government to set up a committee to resolve
agitations over the new pump price of petrol.
He said the committee is expected to address the downward review of
the pump price, determine new minimum wage and consult with the PPPRA
for effective price regulation of petroleum products.
The federal government in reaction to the planned strike has said it
will implement the 'No-work No-pay policy' for any worker that
participates in the industrial action.
The Nation Industrial Court had earlier
restrained the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) and other labour unions
from embarking on their proposed strike on Wednesday.
The Federal Government had on Tuesday dragged the NLC, TUC and their
affiliates before the National Industrial Court seeking to stop the
looming strike threatened by the Labour group over the fuel pump price
increment.
