The federal Government has given a no work; no pay injunction for members that have decided to join the National Labour Congress Strike.
This was gotten Yesterday night from a directive signed by the Secretary to the Government of the Federation (SGF), Babachir Lawal.
According to the SGF, this was as a result of the fidobedience of the NLC to the injunction of the National Inducstril Court.
Here is what the statement reads:
“This notice is regrettably given in spite of an order by the Industrial Court against the strike action.
“All workers, whether in public or private sector, are reminded of the Trade Dispute Act, 2004 which provides:
“‘Where any worker takes part in a strike, he shall not be entitled to any wages or remuneration for the period of the strike and any such period shall not count for the purpose of reckoning the period of continuous employment and all rights dependent on continuity of employment shall be prejudicially affected accordingly.”
“Government, therefore, calls upon and advises all workers to respect the laws of the land and to desist from participating in an illegal strike action.
“Government undertakes to guarantee the safety of workers and their work places, and expects that normal work will continue in the interest of the nation, ”
He concluded by saying any act of prevention of normal activities would be met with adequate response from the Law enforcement agency.
