Abstract Preview

This project work delved into the causes and effects of labour unrest in Nigeria Local Government System using Igalamela/Odolu local government as a case study. In order to guide us, some hypotheses were formulated. Based on the hypotheses, questions were generated and administered to some selected population and the data collected were analyzed. From the data analysis, some findings were arrived at among which were the fact that irregular payment of salaries in the local government causes labour unrest, and that labour unrest leads to low productivity and poor service delivery. In order to overcome these problems, some recommendations were made which include the need to pay workers’ salaries regularly and deemphasize political patronage in staff recruitment in the local government.

CHAPTER ONE

INTRODUCTION

1.1   BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY     

Labour Management Conflict has become a feature of Nigerian organizations in the recent past especially in the public sector organizations including local government councils. Records available have shown that there was conflict between labour and management of their respective organizations in the past decades. The one in the present dispensation, particularly as from late 1990’s, appears to be more frequent. While it is expected that labour and management should work harmoniously together with a view to achieving the common goals of the organization, this expectation is not always fulfilled in the real life. This is because in most cases labour and management tend to have divergent views.

This divergence arises from the different expectations of the two parties.
