The Ondo State government has agreed to meet Organized Labour in the state tomorrow, Monday November 23.
The Head of Service, Mr Dare Aragbaiye while confirming this to newsmen assured the Unions of government’s readiness to interact with them on Monday and also find a lasting solution to the issues raised.
The state government had on Friday received a letter from Labour leaders requesting a meeting on contentious issues on workers salaries and emoluments.
The Unions gave the government an 8-day ultimatum to settle workers’ accumulated salaries and deductions or face industrial action.
In the letter to Government, the Labour movement including the Nigerian Labour Congress (NLC), Trade Union Congress (TUC) and the Joint Negotiating Council (JNC), called on government to urgently convene a meeting to discuss how to settle the outstanding salaries and allowances.
The Chairman, Joint Negotiating Council, JNC, Niyi Fabunmi said the state government failed to honour previous agreements reached over their demands on salaries and deductions.
Fabunmi added that the Organized Labour has a duty to protect the interest of civil servants.
