Fayose Has Not Paid Us Since September Yet You Are Fighting For Him – Workers by leekiano(m): 12:12am On Apr 25, 2015
The rally cry by the Governor of Ekiti State Ayo Fayose to
citizens of the state in a bid to tilt the advantage to his side
in the continuing feud with the House of Assembly has
caused divisions in the labor sector as some workers in the
state are said to be unhappy with labour leaders who have
allegedly abandoned their primary duties of agitating for
their welfare and instead chosen to dabble in politics.
Acting under the aegis of Ekiti Enlightened Workers’ Forum,
EEWF, the workers slammed the Nigeria Labour Congress
(NLC),the Trade Union Congress (TUC) and Joint Negotiating
Council (JNC) for their role in locking 19 All Progressives
Congress lawmakers out of the state.
The workers noted that it was wrong for labor to have
joined hoodlums in blocking roads and causing statewide
panic claiming that labor leaders were pursuing personal
gains.
They wondered if labour had become an branch of the
Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Ekiti State, saying the
issue of workers’ welfare rather than taking sides with
political gladiators should concern the unionists.
The workers urged the union leaders to steer clear of
politics, especially the raging impeachment crisis and face
their welfare, which they said has affected their morale.
Also, the interests of workers, they claimed, should be the
topmost priority of their leaders and this must not be
traded on the altar of politics which they believed labour
leaders have turned into a lucrative business venture when
civil servants and other workers are wallowing in poverty.
The EEWF further stated that it was callous of NLC, TUC and
JNC leaders to fight an unnecessary political war when the
labour force have not been paid salaries since September,
maintaining that the government has since received
September allocation, hence payment should not be
delayed.
Other demands of the aggrieved workers include payment
of 2014 leave bonus, remittance of various deductions,
such as cooperative, check-off dues and loans to banks
made from workers’ July to September 2014 salaries.
“It should be stressed that workers rely on ‘sharp-sharp’
loans and rather for the leadership of Labour to demand
for improved welfare, the so-called labour leaders are
conniving with the government to introduce another form
of ‘sharp-sharp’ loans to workers.
The burden resulting from interests on these loans is too
hard for workers to bear! Government is a continuum, as
soon as a government is sworn in, such government
acquires assets and liabilities of the previous
administration.
The above matters are issues which the leadership of
labour is expected to pursue but the so-called self-
imposed/anointed leaders in NLC, TUC and JNC have vowed
not to pursue because of their personal gains.
At any rate, our present state of labour ineptitude may
remain with us for a long time to come, unless the good
workers of this state take some drastic steps to stem this
unfortunate tide,” they said.
