The Osun state chapter of the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) and Trade Union Congress (TUC) have issued a 14-day ultimatum to Governor Rauf Aregebsola to pay all outstanding salaries owed workers or risk a strike action.
The labour Unions have accused Governor Aregbesola of been insensitive to the plight of workers in Osun state
Civil servants in Osun state have been in a bitter struggle with the state government over its failure to pay their salaries for the past six months.
According to Tribune, the workers arrived at the decision on Tuesday, May 12, following a breakdown of a meeting between the labour and representatives of the government.
The labour unions in the state maintained that the payment of the outstanding salaries within the stipulated period remained the only way to resolve the industrial dispute.
The state leadership of the NLC, TUC warned that if the government failed to meet their demands, workers in the state would embark on an industrial action after the ultimatum expires.
The workers complained that the last salary they received from the government was a part-payment of November salary. Adding that since then they have not collected any salary.
During the 2015 Workers Day celebrations, workers in Osun boycotted the event in the state due to the non-payment of their salaries by the state government.
