Ondo workers to begin strike tomorrow

Ondo State Governor, Dr. Olusegun Mimiko

Civil servants in Ondo State are set to begin an indefinite strike action tomorrow (Wednesday) should the government fail to pay all outstanding salaries and deductions made (from their salaries) for months.

The State Chairman of the Joint Public Service Negotiating Council, Sunday Adeleye, stated this while speaking to journalists on Monday in Akure, the state capital.

Adeleye said the industrial action definitely would take place because the workers had last week issued a seven-day ultimatum to the state government which expires on Wednesday; and unless the government responds on Tuesday, the strike would begin on Wednesday.

He said, “We have been meeting with representatives of the state government since last week, after issuing a statement of a seven-day ultimatum and it was all deadlock.

“But if by Tuesday the state government fails to yield to our demand, the union will have no other option than to call out a congress by tomorrow (Wednesday) and a total strike action would be declared indefinitely.”

The labour leader lamented that the cooperative societies for workers had died a natural death due to non-release of workers’ deductions to the societies. He said the societies were the additional means the workers used to survive.

Adeleye had earlier noted in a statement that non-payment of all deductions in the salaries of workers showed the government’s insensitivity to the plight of civil servants in the state.

In his reaction, the state Commissioner for Information, Mr. Kayode Akinmade, urged the workers to be patient with the state government, saying the government would definitely look into their matter.

“I will appeal to them to embrace dialogue with the government instead of going on strike, because if they go on strike, we are still going to negotiate. So, strike should not be the option.

“The state government, through a commissioner, was already negotiating with the labour leaders, and I believe we are going to achieve fruitful result at the end of the day,” Akinmade assured.
