NLC, TUC Ends Nationwide Strike, Another Betrayal

Now that the strike has been called off, what did NLC and it’s affiliates gain by shutting down the country? As I said in previous post that ending this strike prematurely without achieving any concrete result or commitment from the government is akin to digging their own grave. 1. The pressure has been lifted on the government, it will be difficult to embark on another strike, as the government will definitely seek a court injunction to frustrate any attempt by NLC to stage another nationwide strike.2. A deceitful government with a criminal minded president like Tinubu will not easily yield to labour’s demands knowing that the strike has been called off and it will be ridiculous to mobilize workers again after dashing their hopes severally. Due to the national support behind this strike I had propose that the labour unions sustain the pressure and only call off the strike when the government commits to a realistic minimum wage amount…. But now that it has been called off… it is business as usual…. another win for Tinubu and his corrupt cronies….. NLC has no bargaining power now….
