The President of the Nigeria Labour Congress, Ayuba Wabba says the threat by the Federal Government to activate the no work, no pay principle, will be a negation of workers’ right of association.
Mr. Wabba’s reaction followed the Federal Executive Council’s approval on Wednesday to apply the no work, no pay principle during strikes.
According to him, the right to go on a strike is a human and trade union right and cannot be wished away by any government policy.
The President of the Labour Congress emphasized that there were clear procedures provided by law on how workers can embark on a strike, saying “once this legal requirement is met, the no work, no pay rule cannot apply.”
