The Labour leaders asked their members to embark on indefinite strike immediately after Christmas holiday.
They said the strike would begin on Wednesday, December 27, 2017.
The union’s decision came on the heels of their
claim that the state government has refused to accede to their demands
despite the 21 days ultimatum.
The state chairman of the Nigerian Labour Congress, NLC, Comrade Jacob
Adekomi declared the indefinite strike at a press conference of the
organised labour unions in Oshogbo, Osun state capital.
Comrade Adekomi maintained that the government has no reason to further
pay modulated salaries to categories of workers just as the union will
no longer accept the embargo place on promotion of workers since 2012.
He noted that efforts are in top gear to ensure that the industrial action is effective.
Below is a copy of the letter signed by the union leaders.
