The Minister called the conference to settle disagreements between the TUC and the Nigeria Labour Congress and to prevent the impending warning strike by organised labour.
According to Lalong, the concerns with a two-week deadline for settlement include wage awards for federal government servants to mitigate the impact of their rising rates of poverty, and tax exemption for a certain level of workers, both in the public and private sectors.
