NLC may embark on an indefinite strike? If I hear.
ReplyDeleteIndefinite strike that will not even last up to 5 days and they will suspend it that one follow for strike.
ReplyDeleteI hope labor hasn't been deceived to bite more than it can chew. This is the same way it played baby politics under GEJ and lost so much relevance.
ReplyDeleteNLC is well aware that the country is dead broke. Their chosen candidate also planned to end subsidy on day one and they know that fuel is still being subsidized which is why the last two international increases did not reflect in pump price. NLC should hold governors by the jugular as per palliatives and focus on being productive so Nigeria can pay them. What has strike on state level achieved since most workers in non oil producing states are not even productive? All these years, they have been unable to get 30k from many states but want to grind Nigeria to a halt so that military boys can pay them 200k? Political hacks and unserious jokers.
Will the private sector seeing Mr President's economic reform strides strides join this joke since many in banking, insurance and investment are already seeing salary review? Will private airlines bankrupt themselves when they know prices of petroleum products will still increase in the winter and there's nothing more we can do expect break the camels back by borrowing? Is it the remaining 3 billion out of the 33 that Emefiele and his boys pilfered and embezzled that will be shared by the NLC which makes up less than 7 percent of the nation's workforce?
Let them go in holiday to plow their farms: no work , no pay. They will come back to make the money that will be used to pay them.
The UAW fell for oligarch lies and sacrificed their jobs for "security" from the sweet talking democrats. Today, they are on strike while Tesla, Toyota and others who held on to hard truths and focused on the maths have wished them luck and told them to tow it alone. ASUU went on holiday and resumed by themselves. Face facts, politicians on both sides will exploit the strike and the workers will see that in a few years, the jobs have moved to Mexico. The ASUU don't even have the mouth to insist on lost pay. Let LP keep deceiving you with lies in the day and beer in the night. The math doesn't lie.
I challenge any union member to calculate their taxes this year and compare to what they benefit: roads, housing schemes, healthcare, railroads, a funded security force, subsidized education till university level, life pension and see if 50k a month can actually buy these things. Those egging them on don't even pay taxes. IT is their denial of economic realities that have prevented government from selling the refineries their colleagues feed fat from, thereby ensuring the scarcity that upheld the subsidy cabal. Same with telecoms and other sectors rightly privatized.
Sorry to say this but it's either you are wicked or you have lost touch with the reality on ground. Do you know how much a bag of rice is currently? It's almost 60k in my area, actually it's 58k. Kai, no, you are wicked. How much is minimum wage? Have you wondered how those on minimum wage are surviving?
DeleteYou asked NLC to hold the states because of palliatives that was given by FG? How much is this palliative? And do the maths, how many will benefit and for those that benefits, will the the sum total of the cash given be enough to buy a bag of rice?
Do you even live in Nigeria? Oh no, maybe you live in Aso rock. The middle class is being wiped off, everyone is feeling the heat and it's so unbearable.
Cut the outrageous salaries of the legislature, the judiciary and the executive. Yes, do the needful. Cut off the so many wasteful spendings in government and redistribute the money to the masses. There will be more than enough money to raise the minimum wage after that.
We really need to be sensitive.
