Leaders of Nigeria Labour Congress, NLC, and Trade Union Congress, NLC, yesterday asked the civil servants especially those under the payroll of the Federal Government to ignore the threat of no-work no-pay by the government because it was not implementable.

Similarly, the Joint National Public Service Negotiating Council, JNPSC, also asked their members to ignore such threat, describing it as an empty threat.

At briefing in Lagos, after the monitoring of compliance of the ongoing indefinite strike over the hike of the pump price of petrol, Deputy President of NLC, Comrade Promise Adewusi, who spoke on behalf of NLC, TUC and the Joint Action Front, JAF, said the threat had been on since the history of trade unionism, but had never been implemented.

He said government could decide to hold back workers’ pay for over three months, but that after the strike, the government would face the consequences.
