Minimum Wage negotiations deadlocked Again

Talks to reach a compromise on a new minimum wage for workers in the public service have been deadlocked as organised Labour, again walked out of the meeting.

Sources attending the meeting said the government failed to propose an amount higher than the N60,000 it earlier offered when the parties met on Tuesday this week.

With the latest development, there are strong indications that the Nigeria Labour Congress and Trade Union Congress may begin to mobilise for a strike as they have scheduled a press conference by 4pm at the national headquarters.

Details later.
