Lagos State Government has said that the principles of fairness, equity and justice have always and will continue to underpin government’s relationship with labour unions.
Permanent Secretary, Ministry of Establishments and Training, Olubusola Abidakun, made the remark, yesterday, during a two-day training programme organised by the ministry for labour union members and other stakeholders in the state.
She said that the state government was striving to create workplaces where every employee feels not only valued and respected but also their contributions and rights are recognised and protected.
Abidakun, who added that communication and dialogue are the cornerstone of a harmonious relationship between labour unions and government, charged labour union leaders to work constructively with the government to find solutions that would benefit both workers and government.
She said that the training was designed to equip labour union members with the knowledge and skills.
The facilitator, Biodun Bamgboye, stressed the need for union leaders to use the elements of consultation and conciliation more than consolidation and confrontation to achieve set objectives.
The Commissioner II of the Lagos State Teaching Service Commission (TESCOM), harped on attitudes and mindsets that can bring harmonious industrial relations in the state’s Ministries, Departments and Agencies (MDAs).
