“Most of you supporting NLC on 494k minimum wage don't know it's implications on the economy. Such increase can lead to higher production costs, which may result in: - Higher prices for goods and services (inflation) - Reduced purchasing power of the naira - Potential devaluation of the currency - Unintended economic consequences.”
@Mr_Xiety:
“No dey talk nonsense abeg.. There are countries with higher minimum wage with lower inflation so what are you capping??”
@Blessed75013068:
“Ode 100k deh okay. What about mnisters and senators salary? E no cause infla wo bro sharrap.”
@WazobiaYar:
“Mr we all know 494k is not reasonable but FG should be reasonable with their proposals...not 60k for a family of 4?”
Man shares what Labour Union should do
Meanwhile, Legit.ng earlier reported that a Nigerian man, @je_mc2, has faulted the direction of the labour union in their nationwide strike, which kicked off on Monday, June 1.
The NLC/TUC strike is a direct response to unresolved issues related to wage increases, economic policies, and a hike in the electricity tariff.
The strike has paralysed economic and essential activities across the nation, and @je_mc2 believes the labour union is not taking the right step.
In a recent development, Legit.ng also reported that Maritime Workers Union of Nigeria, (MWUN), has shut down port operations across the country.
