Labour unions in Osun State on Monday
declared a total strike to press home their
demand for payment of their six-month
salaries.
The Chairman of the Nigeria Labour
Congress, Mr. Jacob Adekomi, who read the
address of the labour unions at a press
conference in Osogbo, said the strike would
begin on Tuesday, May 26, after the
expiration of a 14-day ultimatum given to
the state government.
The address read, “That an indefinite strike
action be commenced by all the workers in
the State of Osun as from Tuesday, May 26,
2015 due to the failure of the government
to accede to our legitimate demands, as
contained in our letter to the government
dated May 12, 2015.
“The indefinite strike action will be total
and by this billeting, workers are advised to
stay at home while pressing home our
demands. That no worker should resume
work until announcement is made by the
labour bodies to that effect.”
The labour union alleged that apart from
the salary issue, the state government had
refused to remit the contributory pension
deductions from their salaries to their
respective retirement saving accounts.
