ECONOMIC HARDSHIP: LABOUR LISTS DEMANDS TO AVERT INDEFINITE STRIKE
No retreat no surrender -Update on the three day warning strike called by the Joint National Public Service Negotiating Council
The three-day warning strike called by the National leadership of Joint National Public Service Negotiating Council ended on Sunday
The level of compliance by the Public servants across the States and Federal Public Servants was put at 65% because private sector workers were not involved in the strike
Reports indicated that there was full compliance in Akwa ibom, Oyo, Osun, Kaduna Sokoto , Gombe States while partial compliance was recorded in other states across the country
The three day warning strike has provoked
public discourse and the general public described the declaration of the warning strike as a popular decision taken by the National leadership of JNPSNC.
The warning strike enjoyed the total support from the National leadership of the Nigeria Labour Congress Comrade Joe Ajaero who threw his explicit weight behind the three day warning strike
Consequent upon the outcome of the warning strike , it is advisable to the Federal Government to use the period of the lull in action to engage the National leadership of JNPSNC because the next strike action will be a total strike and there will be a strong alliance and solidarity with stakeholders in Labour movement parlance
Appropriate strategic meetings have commenced in earnest to ensure that Public Servants across the country are sensitized towards the next struggle ahead within the next few weeks ahead
The demands of Public Servants remained unambiguous :
1, *Slash the astronomical fuel prices*
*2, The federal government should review salaries and allowances to Public Servants*
*3 The Federal Government should set up a tripartite committee for the 2027 New National Minimum Wage* .
The National leadership of JNPSNC wants to reiterate the commitment of millions of Public Servants in Nigeria to the above listed three demands without doubt.
The federal government should take cognisance of the consciousness the three strike has attracted and be proactive to prevent spontaneous reactions from the publics.
Solidarity forever!!!
