The Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) in Ebonyi state has announced the suspension of the one-week warning strike declared on December 2, 2024.
In a statement on Monday, the Union Leadership explained that the decision followed a review meeting by the State Executive Committee.
The suspension, addressed to all affiliate unions of the NLC and the Trade Union Congress (TUC), highlighted the State government’s strong commitment to the negotiating table.
The government has consistently involved the Union in extensive negotiation meetings since December 7, 2024.
The statement also noted that the State government has shown a willingness to sign an agreement with the NLC after presenting verifiable facts.
“The State Governor has appealed passionately for the table used in the payment of the October and November 2024 salaries to be accepted by the NLC pending a review that will be backed by a better financial standing of the State.
“The state governor has promised to continue his goodwill to better the affairs of Ebonyi workers.
The bulletin noted that arising from the following outcome of the meeting held on the 9th of December 2024, the Union unanimously resolved that the strike action be suspended.
“Workers are to resume duties while further engagements to better the welfare of Ebonyi workers in line with the new minimum wage act continue.”
The Union thanked the workers for their show of commitment and solidarity during the period of the one-week warning strike.
