We won't collect half Salaries - Osun Workers tell Aregbesola

The Chairman of the Nigeria Labour Congress, Mr. Jacob
Adekomi and Chairman, Joint Public Service Negotiating
Council, Mr. Bayo Adejumo, have said they would not collect half salaries from Osun State Government. The labour leaders made this at a press conference in Osogbo on Saturday.

The labour leaders claimed that they did not sign any agreement
with the government that they would be collecting half
salaries contrary to what some former commissioners
and government appointees have been saying.

Workers from grade level 01-07 are being paid in full
while those from level 08 and above have been receiving
half salaries since July 2015 but the NLC said they did
not sign this agreement with the government.

The labour leaders blamed some of the former aides of
the governor for plunging the state into the financial
crisis It was facing now because of their alleged
recklessness.

The Nigerian Labour Congress chairman said, “Our demands are that
government should start to to pay our 2014 bonus
which was factored into the bailout given to the state.
