Labour unions in Osun State on Friday declared their intention to commence a total strike to press home their demand for payment of their full salaries.
The labour leaders have instructed their members to embark on indefinite strike immediately after the Christmas holiday.
According to them, the strike is expected to commence on Wednesday, December 27, 2017.
The decision came on the heels of the claim that the state government has refused to meet the demands of the workers, despite the 21-day ultimatum issued to the government by the unions.
Addressing a press conference in Osun, Chairman of the Nigerian Labour Congress (NLC) in the state, Jacob Adekomi, directed the workers to proceed on an industrial action after the Christmas celebration.
Adekomi said the government has no reason to further pay modulated salaries to all categories of workers, just as the union would no longer accept the embargo placed on the promotion of workers since 2012.
