NLC Decries Workers’ Salaries Deduction In Delta

The Delta State Coun
cil of the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) has frowned at the  unnecessary monthly salaries deduction of its  members.
In a communiqué issued at the end of the union meeting in Asaba on Friday, the union warned that the wish of the congress that workers take home pay should actually take them home.
The congress directed all industrial unions in Delta State to desist from imposing levies and collection of other monthly deductions from salaries of workers, especially where there is disagreement among the members of the union.
The union said the only approved levy was the monthly check off due to be collected by the affiliate unions from the workers salaries.
The communique urged the Delta State Government to consider without delay timely payment of monthly salaries to primary school teachers and local government workers in the state as was being done in other sectors.
The communiqué added that the “congress held the leadership of the state NLC in high esteem and consequently restated its unwavering confidence, loyalty and support for the present state Executive Council of the Nigerian Labour Congress as led by Comrade Williams Akporeha.”
