Osogbo – The Nigeria Labour
Congress (NLC), in Osun, says the
strike embarked upon by workers
will continue in spite of
government’s promise to pay one,
out of the eight months salaries,
owed workers in the State.
Chairman of NLC in the state, Mr
Jacob Adekomi, told newsmen in
Osogbo on Tuesday, that the
congress had a meeting with State
Government officials “where they
promised to pay one month salary.
“We made it known to them that
we cannot take anything less than
five months salaries from the eight
months they owe us.
“It is disheartening that
government now said they will pay
only Dec. 2014 salary, and most of
the workers had incurred debts
with their banks which will render
the payment useless.
“Government intends to balance
the 30 per cent owed civil servants
on grade level 15 and above for
Nov. 2014, plus one month (NET
salary), to all the state workers
across board for December’’,
Adekomi said.
He stated that government also
promised to pay the November
2014 pension entitlement to
pensioners but the unions agreed
that the strike would continue.
Adekomi emphasised that the
workers’ strike would continue
although they appreciated the
efforts made by the governor to
pay their salaries.
He, therefore, appealed to workers
in the state to remain steadfast
with the struggle as the
negotiation would continue with
the government. (NAN)
