The government of Cross River State has threatened to apply the policy of no-work-no-pay on workers who go on strike as demanded by the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) and the Trade Union Congress (TUC).
The two labour uninos are said to have concluded plans to embark on industrial action from Monday, June 19th over demands on several promises that have not been fulfilled by the Governor Ben Ayade-led government.
In a statement by the Special Adviser in the Governor’s office, Mark B. Obi, the government reminded the civil servants of labour law that says no work no pay and warned them to
rescind their decision on the planned strike action.
“The organized Labour should carefully note that relevant section of the Nigeria Labour Acts which provides for No Work No Pay. The Cross River State government uses this medium to appeal to the organized labour in the interest of state development to shelve the
proposed industrial action and allow government the needed atmosphere to implement the agreement as reached.”
“All civil servants are pleased advised to take note and be at their respective duty post to discharge their function as required on Monday 19th June 2017.” [myad]
