Labour Leaders in the Ogun State have divided over the 21 days ultimatum issued to the State government over their unpaid entitlements of the Workers.
This development came as some of the Labour Leaders shared the hand bills on Friday, reminding the Workers to stay at home from this week Wednesday after the expiration of the 21 days ultimatum, but it was discovered that the circulation of the hand bills did not go down well with the NJC leaders who argued that, such was not the agreement reached by the three unions.
The Labour Leaders had in a communiqué issued and signed by the Chairmen of Trade Union Congress, Nigerian Labour Congress and Joint Negotiating Congress, Comrades Olubunmi
Fajobi, Akeem Ambali and
Abiodun Olakanmi, respectively, at the
end of the State Executives Council's extra ordinary
meeting said the action of the
state government in withholding workers’ deduction was a deliberate, destructive affront to pauperize the workers
in the state workforce.
They said all efforts to make the
government fulfil her pledges to the
workers had been futile. Akeem Ambali in his words: “As we
speak, the state owes 72 months of unpaid
contributory pension scheme, 12 months of
deductions, four years of unpaid pension
and deliberate non-payment of salaries of
Tai Solarin College of Education (TASCE)
workers running to about 16 months.”
