WE ARE NEGOTIATING MINIMUM WAGE! Not discussing downsizing of workforce or employment of workers, Labour tells governors
The General Secretary of the Nigeria Labour Congress, Dr Peter Ozo-Eson, has said that the governors should not mix up the issue of negotiation for minimum wage with sacking or employing workers.
According to him, the organised labour was only interested in pursuing what would be the minimum wage of workers and ensuring that the workers were not subjected to slave/master situation in their country.

Ozo-Eson said,
“The process of downsizing is governed by an established process under the International Labour Organisation Convention.
“We are not discussing downsizing of the workforce or employment of workers.
“What we are discussing is the minimum wage. We want to know exactly what the minimum wage is. The issue of downsizing is of collective bargaining. The issues should not be mixed. We don’t want workers to be slaves to their employers.”
