NLC orders striking NIA workers to call off strike

The National Labour Commission has ordered striking workers of the National Identification Authority (NIA) to call off their strike and negotiate with the government on Friday, June 14.

The workers are protesting the delay in addressing their conditions of service, including institution-specific allowances.

The strike has disrupted NIA operations, leaving many seeking services stranded. The workers' union will meet to decide on calling off the strike, seeking a commitment from the government to treat NIA workers fairly.

The Fair Wages and Salaries Commission is ready to negotiate in good faith to reach a solution.
