Labour management unrest has become common feature of Nigeria organization in recent past especially in the public sector organization including local government. Available records have shown even in their respective organization conflicts exist between labour and management in the past decades. The one in the present dispensation particularly as from 1990s appears to be more frequent while it is expected that labour and management should work harmoniously together for the achievement of common goals. This expectation is not always fulfilled in the real life, it is so because in most cases labour and management tends to have divergence views.

However, these divergences arise from the different expectation of the two parties. Taking specifically about the local government, the labour management conflicts is exacerbated by the recent development in the local government. The more likely to local likely, drindling “Syndromes) allocation to local government which culminated in zero allocation syndromes which has led to nonpayment of no salaries for up to 9-12 months of this has heightened the labour crises in the local government, the nature of financial management in the local government in the face of the ever binding resources worsen the situation as the political office holders appears no to employee.

Studies carryout by many social scientist have indicates that productivity in the local government has not been efficient due to labour unrest. This situation is very dangerious, it allow contining vehicle unchecked because as we know local government is the closest level of local government to the people.

So the absence of tranquility between labour and management will highly affect this development of the entire society. This is carried out to check the problem.
