Organised Labour has again threatened to embark on strike over the failure to agree on a new minimum wage with the Federal Government.
The President of the Trade Union Congress, Festus Osifo, made this known on Tuesday after another meeting deadlocked.
Osifo, who revealed this on a Channels Television programme: “Politics Today,” said the Federal Government was not serious with its negotiation.
He said: “The government must be very serious in addressing the issue of a new minimum wage.”
The meeting ended in a deadlock as the proposal of N60,000 as minimum wage by the government was not good enough for the organised labour, which reduced its demand from N497,000 to N494,000.
Osifo added: “So, for us, we completely reject it.
