Imo Govt, Labour Battle Over Improper Implementation Of New Minimum Wage
Emelumba said that state government was keeping its own side of the bargain with the organised labour through the payment of the new minimum wage.
He said any worker who has not received his or her January salary must have missed returning the personal identification form as earlier requested by the government.
According to him, the government had demanded that all public servants complete the personal identification form to ensure that they are captured in the financial database of the state.
He however directed those who have not done so to comply with the laid down procedures.
