Speaking in Lagos on Thursday, the labour leader said that payment of the new minimum wage would be a win-win situation not only for workers but also for the government as it would result in improved productivity and wealth creation, NAN reports.“We are only delaying because we have seen that government has woken from their slumber, and they know we have already mobilised because the people are tired of fake promises.
The labour leader said that workers had been patient and considerate, adding that excuses by politicians that the economy would collapse if the minimum wage was implemented would no longer be tolerated. “It is only unreasonable people that would puncture what labour is demanding, because it is actually not a living wage but a starvation wage,” she said.
Also, Mr. Rasaq Falade, Chairman, MHWUN, Lagos State Chapter, said that the union would continue to negotiate good welfare packages and career progression for its members.
