The Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) has expressed its preparedness for a major national struggle for a comprehensive review of the national minimum wage.
NLC President Comrade Joe Ajaero hinted at this while making his remarks at the commissioning of the Comrade Godwin Abumisi Pensioners Legacy House and Multipurpose Hall in Abuja.
Ajaero said it is no longer acceptable to discuss the welfare of workers without also discussing the welfare of those who have completed their active years of service.
He advised workers and pensioners to get prepared for the ideological and economic battles that lie ahead.
According to the NLC president: The Nigeria Union of Pensioners (NUP) is one of the proud affiliates of the Nigeria Labour Congress.
The NLC President said it will not only push for a new national minimum wage but will also demand the establishment of a national minimum pension.
