With 48 hours to the expiration of the May 31 deadline issued by organised labour to the Federal Government to conclude negotiations
on a new minimum wage for the country, another round of workers’ shutdown is inevitable as the tripartite committee• Minimum wage committee meeting postponed indefinitely on a new minimum wage for the country, another round of workers’ shutdown is inevitable as the tripartite committee on minimum wage yesterday, postponed its meeting indefinitely following another walkout by labour leaders after government increased its offer to N60,000.
But yesterday’s meeting ended in a stalemate as members of organised labour walked out of the negotiation process after the government proposed N60,000 as the minimum wage and the Organised Private Sector also tallied with the Federal Government on N60,000. “We walked out for them to agree on something reasonable and while at that we will start mobilisation towards the necessary actions as would be directed by the relevant organs of the trade unions.
“Productivity should be a key driver of higher wages. Employees should be able to navigate their paths toward higher wages through increased productivity and value addition.
The tripartite committee on minimum wage has, however, postponed its meeting “sine die”, sources familiar with the matter told our correspondent on Tuesday. According to Merriam-Webster dictionary, sine die means a situation, “without any future date being designated : implying indefinitely.” In its bid to ensure that all children of school age are enrolled in school, the Abia State government has warned parents and guardians to either enroll their children and wards or be punished.
