The Labour Party has expressed support for the indefinite strike declared by the Nigeria Labour Congress and the Trade Union Congress to press home their demands for better working conditions.
The workers are demanding an increase in the minimum wage, a reduction in the prices of goods and services, and an improvement in working conditions. The Labour Party has urged all its members and supporters to stock their homes with their necessary needs ahead of a long-drawn mass action until victory is ascertained.
“Labour Party is not in any way surprised at the government’s apparent indifference, insensitivity, intransigence, and recalcitrant posture towards the genuine demands of the Labour bodies because their usurpation of power was not sanctioned by both the workers and generality of Nigerians. “Labour Party is also aware of the sordid conditions which workers, the majority of them being our members, are subjected to, whereby many of them go to the office on a Monday and are forced by the prevailing economic challenges, to sleep in their offices all through to Friday before they return home.
