TVC E – Organised labour in Osun state have asked Governor Rauf Aregbesola to commence immediate payment of full to all categories of workers.
The Chairman of the Nigeria Labour Congress, Jacob Adekomi and Chairman, Joint Public Service Negotiating Council, Bayo Adejumo, made this demand at a press conference in Osogbo on Saturday.
They said labour leaders did not sign any agreement with the government that they would be collecting half salaries contrary to what some former commissioners and government appointees have been saying.
Workers from grade level 01-07 are being paid in full while those from level 08 and above have been receiving half salaries since July 2015 but the NLC said they did not sign this agreement with the government.
The labour leaders blamed some of the former aides of the governor for plunging the state into the financial crisis It was facing now because of their alleged recklessness.
The NLC chairman said, “Our demands are that government should start to to pay our 2014 bonus which was factored into the bailout given to the state.
