The Minister of Labour and employment, Dr Chris Ngige, on Monday met leaders of the National Union of Electricity Employees in Abuja in a conciliation meeting over the 14-day ultimatum issued by the u
nion.
Some of the issues discussed at the Monday meeting were non-implementation of agreement signed with the union, the 14-day ultimatum which was to come to an end on Friday and non-payment of the severance package of the over 2,000 workers. “The number is not as what NUEE is saying but at the same time, we expect that payment should be effected latest at the end of 60 days.
But the General Secretary, NUEE, Joe Ajaero, said although the union was ready to wait for the 60 days, it was not happy that such a lengthy period had to be given.
