The National Labour Congress (NLC) has denied that it negotiated a N40,000 pay adjustment for federal workers, according to a statement released by the union.
The claim follows a recent Vanguard article that explained how public sector unions have been negotiating wage increases for federal employees.
In its statement, the NLC clarified that it was not involved in the negotiation of the specific N40,000 adjustment, although it has been active in broader discussions on public sector pay.
Public sector unions, including the NLC, have been engaged in talks with the federal government to secure wage increases for civil servants, but the NLC insists that the N40,000 figure was not part of its negotiations.
The issue highlights the ongoing debate over public sector remuneration and the roles of different unions in shaping wage policy.
