Osun Workers Suspend Strike Over Unpaid Salaries by adioolayi(m): 7:32am On Jul 14, 2015 |
Labour leaders in Osun State on Monday suspended the strike action
embarked upon by workers in the state over the non-payment of
their salaries by the state government.
The Chairman of the Nigeria Labour Congress in the state, Mr.
Jacob Adekomi, who announced to journalists that the strike had
been suspended, said the decision was taken after the government
and labour representatives had signed a Memorandum of
Understanding on the issue.
The NLC chairman said workers agreed to suspend the strike which
started on May 26 because the state government would begin
payment of January and February 2015 salaries as from Monday
(yesterday) while the remaining salaries would be paid with the
bailout still being expected from the Federal Government.
A copy of the MoU made available to journalists showed that the
Head of Service, Mr. Sunday Owoeye, led the permanent secretaries
of the Ministries of Justice, Finance and Human Resources and
Capacity Building/Public Service to sign the document.
The NLC chairman; Secretary, Rufus Adeyemi, Chairman, Joint
Public Service Negotiating Council, Bayo Adejumo and Secretary
JPSNC, Richard Oyegbami, signed the documents on behalf of the
labour unions.
The MoU read, “Both parties, therefore, agreed to enter into this
Memorandum of Understanding in anticipation of the bailout
expected from the Federal Government on the issue of settlement of
salary arrears and to show the state government’s commitment to
the welfare of its workforce, having in mind the need to collect data
towards the completion of the physical verification exercise of
workers and retirees in the public service.
“The labour unions will suspend the ongoing strike action on the
basis of the Memorandum of Understanding to allow all public
service personnel audit and verification exercise as well as auditing
of local government staff/primary school teachers and retires take
place.”
The document stated that the screening exercise was not meant to
witch-hunt or retrench any worker, adding that the exercise would
enable the government to know the actual number of workers in the
employment of the state.
They added that the state would also know the actual wage bill of
workers and the number of pensioners and the amount to be spent
to defray the bills. http://www.punchng.com/news/osun-workers-suspend-strike-over-unpaid-salaries/ |
