The Leadership of the Nigeria Labour
Congress (NLC) in Osun State has
finally suspended its 6-week strike
over their eight months unpaid
salaries.
Chairman of the Union, Jacob
Adekomi, at the signing of the
Memorandum of Understanding in
Osogbo, the state capital, told
newsmen that the Union finally
arrived at the suspension decision as
workers have confirmed receipt of
payment alerts of two months’
salaries.
With the announcement of the bail out
fund by the federal government, one
month into the strike, the workers
became anxious and efforts to end the
strike started.
On Monday, the labour leaders began
to arrive at the state secretariat but
did not sign as they eagerly awaited
the payment signal.
Two hours after, the workers began to
get the alert and so they moved into
the office of the Head of Service to
sign the Memorandum of
Understanding signalling a
suspension of the six weeks strike of
the Osun State workers.
After much negotiations by the
Labour leaders and government, a
truce was also reached and it was
announced that the workers would
soon be paid the arrears of January
and February.
The Chairman of the Nigeria Labour
Congress, Osun State chapter, told
newsmen that the Union agreed to
suspend the strike as government has
fulfilled its part by paying the two
months arrears.
He added that the Union has also
asked for a total review of the actual
number of Osun workforce and
pensioners.
However, lecturers in all the state
owned polytechnics and colleges of
education insist they are not part of
the negotiation and as such the strike
continues.
A group representing the Council of
Academic Staff Unions of Osun State-
Owned Tertiary Institutions
(CASUOSTI) said this.
Other workers are expected to resume
work on Tuesday but students in the
polytechnics and colleges of
education have no hope yet.
The affected lecturers and students
have expressed hope that the State
Government would look into this and
bring an end to the crisis
