Workers in Osun state are on warpath with the State Governor, Ogbeni Rauf Aregbesola, over his insistence on paying them half salary despite the state getting N6.3 billion in the third tranche of Paris Club refund.
The workers have declared an indefinite strike scheduled to commence on December 27th, 2017.
The workers made this known as the outcome of an emergency meeting of Osun State Joint Public Service Negotiating Council, which comprises all labour and worker unions in the state.
“Consequent upon the refusal of the government of Osun State to accede to the demands of the workers and pensioners as contained in our letter of Tuesday, December 5, 2017, the workers of Osun State will be proceeding on an indefinite strike by 27th December , 2017,” the body said in a Friday statement.
The body enjoined workers to stay at home until given new instructions by the body.
