Abstract

The primary role of the Nigerian Labour Congress Nigerian (NLC) as a central body to which is affiliated all the labour unions in the Federation is to protect the interest of the workers. The deregulation policy possess a serious challenge to the Nigerian Labour Congress in the realization of this dream, as workers working in the same environment is pursuing different interest in terms of salary structure caused by the discriminatory policy. This has adversely affected the functionality of the Nigerian Labour Congress, as an institutional framework for collective bargaining in Nigeria.
