Organized labour unions in Ondo state have accused the state government of suspiciously and forcefully introducing percentage and fractional salary payment into the state.
The unions insist that workers will not accept 80% September 2016 salary arrears paid from the second tranche of the Paris debt refund.
Rising from an emergency labour leaders’ meeting held at NLC office on Saturday, the affiliate unions of JNC, NLC and TUC wondered why government went ahead to pay eighty percent of September last year’s salaries, despite warning from the unions
They said it was too authoritarian, erroneous and elementary for any political appointee to be claiming that the present administration did not owe workers, adding that it was well known that state governors statutorily inherited both assets and liabilities of his predecessors.
