Labour Unions in Kwara State have announced to embark on an indefinite strike beginning from tomorrow, Tuesday, October 13, 2020, if the government fails to sign the minimum wage agreement.
This was the outcome of a meeting held by the organised labour and contained in a communique issued in Ilorin on Monday.
Signed by the state Chairman of NLC, Issa Ore, Acting Chairman of TUC, Ezekiel Adegoke, and state chairman of JNC, Saliu Suleiman, the communique enjoined workers across board to comply with the directive by staying at home from Tuesday.
The labour movement comprising TUC, NLC, and JNC, met to review the state government’s stance on the minimum wage issue.
It implored, “Workers to please cooperate and actively participate in the struggle to achieve the desired success.
“Every worker should remain at home as any worker found in any ministry or offices will be seriously dealt with.
“No worker comes to work until they are directed by the leadership of the labour movement.
“We will make sure that nobody is victimised or harassed by the government in this respect,” the communique added.
