With respect to one week warning strike embacked by the Academic Staff Union of Polytechnics(ASUP), the Minister of Labour and Employment, Dr. Chris Ngige has
reminded the Academic Staff Union of Polytechnics (ASUP), who
are currently on a warning strike of the ‘no work, no pay’ policy of
Federal Government.
In his words, “I wish to remind the trade unions that there is
nothing like a “Warning Strike” in our National Industrial Relations
System (NIRS) - a strike is a strike and is subject to all the rules
governing strike in the world of work.
“Accordingly, the provisions of Section 43 of the Trade Disputes
Act, CAP. T8, Laws of the Federation of Nigeria (LFN), 2004, will
apply regarding the law of “No Work No Pay’’ by workers/
employees notwithstanding any other circumstances in any section
of the Act.”
He urged the union to suspend the strike action and embrace
dialogue as the government is fully ready to dialogue with them.
