May 21, (THEWILL) – The Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) and Trade Union Congress (TUC) have again rejected the N54,000 proposed by the Federal Government as the new minimum wage.
This followed the resumption of negotiations by the Tripartite Committee on New National Minimum Wage after the NLC and TUC rejected the N48,000 minimum wage earlier proposed by the Federal Government.
According to Vanguard, one of the leaders of organised labour who attended the meeting on Tuesday said the new offer of N54,000 has also been rejected.
The unions had insisted on N615,000 as the new minimum wage for workers.
