Organised Labour in ondo state has given Governor Oluwarotimi Akeredolu’s administration eight days ultimatum to settle workers’ accumulated salaries and deductions or face industrial action.
It was gathered that the state government is owing workers October salaries and six months deductions which have crippled various cooperative societies in the state public service and the state tertiary institutions.
The organised Labour that includes the Nigerian Labour Congress (NLC), Trade Union Congress (TUC) and the Joint Negotiating Council (JNC), called on government to urgently convene a meeting with the Labour leaders on or before friday November 27, to discuss how to defray the outstanding salaries and allowances.
The labour’s position is contained in a letter addressed to the governor and signed by the state Chairmen and Secretaries of NLC, TUC and JNC, Sunday Adeleye-Oluwole, Helen Odofin, Niyi Fabunmi; Omokehinde Shado, Tajudeen Balogun and Kehinde Olomiye.
The Labour unions said the state government had failed to honour various previous agreements reached with the labour unions over their demands on salaries and deductions payment.
