AS the one-week warning strike
embarked upon by the Academic Staff Union of Polytechnics, ASUP, moves into its
third day, the federal government has reminded labour unions that the nation’s
laws do not recognize such strikes.
Speaking to newsmen yesterday in
Abuja , Minister of Labour and Productivity, Chris Ngige, warned that
since the laws do not recognize such strikes, government may be forced to
invoke the “no work no pay” rule.
Ngige assured that government was handling the issue of
industrial relations the best way it could, saying that some of the labour
unions such as the Nigeria Labour Congress ,NLC, and Trade Union Congress ,TUC,
were cooperating with government while a technical committee was working on the
issue of the minimum wage.
