The Nigerian Labour Congress (NLC) has revealed its commitment to dialogue with the state authorities in order to ensure the entrenchment of workers\u2019 rights in Kaduna State.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This was contained in a statement issued by the Kaduna NLC Chairman, Ayuba Magaji, on Tuesday in Kaduna.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

Ripples Nigeria had earlier reported that El-Rufai<\/a> issued a public memo over the prosecution of NLC and its labour due to \u2018sabotage of economic activities in the state as a result of the ongoing industrial action.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, Magaji said, \u201cThe state government don\u2019t need toughness to discuss this. This is a democratic regime; even in military regimes, labour unions strive. We will continue with our struggle.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He continued, \u201cIt is not an issue of stubbornness. We will protect the rights of workers to the letter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe Kaduna state government is playing tough on our actions. We have had military governments who are tough by nature, but we sat down and dialogued with them and reached a logical conclusion.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He added, \u201cWe are equally taking our responsibilities as workers\u2019 representatives and bringing to the open the grievances of our workers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt is a very simple issue, let the Kaduna state government reinstate the disengaged workers, and they should not sack the 11,000 they are planning to, and we will call off our action\u201d.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
