fcuk A NLC: We Wont Pay 18k Minimum Wage Until 2012 - Jonathan

President Goodluck Jonathan said on Monday that the Federal Government could not be committed to the full implementation of the Minimum Wage Act 2011 till next year.

Reacting to the development, organised labour accused the government of insincerity and vowed to go ahead with the warning strike it had scheduled for Wednesday (tomorrow).

The President spoke through the Secretary to the Government of the Federation, Anyim Pius Anyim, who led a Federal Government team to a meeting with organised labour in Abuja.

Anyim said, “The President said that we should not break the law. (He said) we should invite the labour leaders to let them know that we would pay (workers on) levels one to six and then include the funds for the payment of the relativity in the next budget, so that with effect from January, it can take off.



“That is what it did with monetisation, which took it three years to implement. They don’t want to pay all federal workers. They are limiting it to core civil servants only; and this is not acceptable to labour.

“So, there is a deadlock; and therefore, the strike will go on on Wednesday,” the source said.
