Workers in Taraba State have suspended the industrial action which they embarked on over the state government’s alleged refusal to implement the approved national minimum wage of N30.000.
It was gathered that workers decided to put the strike on hold after series of meetings with the leadership of the state and other critical stakeholders.
Briefing Journalists on the decision to suspend the two weeks old strike, the leadership of the State Joint Negotiation Council (SJPSNC), said: “during the period of the strike action, the Organized Labour had series of meaningful dialogue with the government”.
SJPSNC Chairman, Dame Musa Buhari said the “the industrial action is suspended and all workers are directed to resume work immediately.
“Workers are equally enjoined to report any attempt of victimization on account of participation in the strike from any quarters to the organized labour”, Buhari said.
He said though the demands of the workers were yet to be met by the government, “modalities for the implementation of the new national minimum wage within three months were in place”.
The decision of the leaders to suspend the strike, however, did not go down well with the workers.
Some of the workers who bared their minds described the action of the labour leaders as” a betrayal of trust”.
