The Nigeria Labour Congress, NLC, is set to tackle several state governors for failing to pay salaries of their workers.
President of the union, Mr. Ayuba Wabba, said NLC leadership wants to take stock of exactly what the issues are before putting appropriate employers on notice.
“We will declare a state of emergency because workers should not be made to bear the brunt of the challenges because they are not responsible," he said according to The Nation.
“When the economy was good they did not enjoy, now that there is a challenge, they are the worst-hit, it should not be so. These are our arguments.
“But when they are taking such decisions, they also have to be very balanced in taking such decision. It should not only apply to workers.
“Political office holders are still collecting their money even though they are proposing the reduction, they are still collecting the security vote we are talking about and they are still issuing bogus contracts," he said.
