More troubles for Gov. Rotimi Akeredolu as Ondo workers threaten strike and getting set for showdown.
All seems not too well with the government; adding to it the civil servants in the state in a letter addressed to the governor have given him 5 days ultimatum to shut down businesses if their demands were not met.
The workers across the 18 Local Government Areas of the state are demanding for the payment of their outstanding salaries, leave bonuses among other entitlements pending over the years.
The workers under the Joint Negotiating Council (JNC), in a letter dated 10th July, 2020, gave Akeredolu till Wednesday, 15 July, 2020 to call for negotiations or they will down tools.
The agitation was contained in a letter to the governor and jointly signed by the state Chairman of JNC, Comrade Oluwaniyi Fabunmi and the State Secretary, Comrade Kehinde Olomiye.
The letter reads in part, “We write to bring to your attention the already ‘gathered cloud’ of very serious impending Labour/Government face-off which will be the very first in the life of your administration as the elected Governor of the Sunshine state.”
JNC is an umbrella body of all the labour unions in the public service and comprises affiliates of the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC), and Trade Union Congress (TUC).
