Osun workers divided over salary
Workers in Osun State have expressed different views on the attitude of the state government to their alleged poor welfare for over four months.
While a section of the workers believed that government had given enough reasons for the workers' hardship, others felt only an industrial action was the way out.
Some workers, under the aegis of Senior Civil Servants Association of Nigeria, Osun State branch, gave government a sevenday ultimatum to look into their demands or face an industrial action. Chairman of the association, Akimbo Olatunji, at a press conference in Osogbo, said the ultimatum became necessary to put the government on its toes.
Among the demands, he highlighted, were prompt payment of workers' salary, promotion of workers and review of contributing pension scheme. On the nonpayment of salary in the past four months, Olatunji said workers have been subjected to untold hardship, adding that "pensioners were suffering in silence".
Factional Chairman of Trade Union Congress (TUC) in the state, Francis Adetunji, said the ultimatum given by the Senior Civil Servants Association to government was against labour law.
