Organised labour in Oyo
State has issued a 7-day ultimatum to Oyo State Government to settle
over five months arrears of salaries owed workers.
The ultimatum was issued on Tuesday in Ibadan by the Nigeria Labour
Congress (NLC), Trade Union Congress (TUC) and Joint Negotiation Council
(JNC).
Mr Waheed Olojede, the State NLC Chairman, who spoke at a news
conference, said that the 7-day ultimatum would commence on Wednesday,
March 30 and lapse on Thursday, April 7.
He said that the unions had considered the prevailing condition of
workers and pensioners with five months unpaid salaries and the failure
of government to accede to previous requests.
The government and the unions in 2015 signed a memorandum of
understanding on how the salaries would be paid.
Olojede said that the unions had written to the state government
requesting for a meeting, which he claimed the government failed to
accept.
Olojede said that the situation had reduced workers to state of poverty,
adding that their productivity, diligence and absolute commitment would
be hinged on how the workers were treated.
“If government fails to meet the leadership of the labour movement in
the state, we may not be able to guarantee continued industrial peace
beyond the stipulated time,” he said.
