[VIDEO] N70,000 Allowance: Ajaero Cannot Negotiate On Behalf Of Organised Labour — Osifo

The President of the Trade Union Congress (TUC), Festus Osifo, has said his Nigerian Labour Congress (NLC) counterpart, Joe Ajaero, cannot negotiate on behalf of organised labour, insisting that he can only speak for the NLC.

Osifo was reacting to the controversy over the Federal Government’s proposed ₦70,000 monthly transport support for workers for six months.

Ajaero had said the TUC had no right to reject the offer, prompting Osifo to clarify the limits of the NLC president’s authority in negotiations involving organised labour.

Speaking on Channels Television’s The Morning Brief on Friday, Osifo said the TUC was seeking a salary increase rather than a temporary allowance.

He maintained that the position of the TUC should be distinguished from that of the NLC in discussions with the Federal Government over workers’ welfare.
