The National Labour Congress, NLC, the governors’ interference in the national minimum wage negotiation is unconstitutional.
The head of information and public affairs for the National Labour Congress , Benson Upah, stated this in an interview on Arise Television on Monday.
“Governors have been part of this process, and for some of them to want to pull out from the national team will be injurious to the whole process and an act of treachery and betrayal because they know fully that they have been part of the government team. It is tripartite. They do not have the constitutional right to hijack it.”
He warned that placing labour on the concurrent list could lead to a multiplication of laws, making it difficult for investors to navigate the legal landscape. He said, “First and foremost, it will be unfair to say we did not follow through with our protests. We have been believing in our leaders. The NLC has been trusting our leaders in this country, but in the end, it was trust misplaced, and we’re learning our lessons today. We were trusting our administration, and that’s why we went back to the negotiation table at that time.”
