Organised Labour in Nasarawa State has berated the state government for breaching all the accord reached between the Federal Ministry of Labour and Productivity and the National Human Right Commission by not paying hundred per cent salaries to workers in the state.
The union enjoined the state governor to go back to the status quo by paying workers hundred percent of all their entitlements.
Comrade Yusuf Sarki, the spokesperson of the public service negotiating Council in the state made this known to newsmen in Lafia.
Sarki, irked over the unabated percentage payment of salary to workers in Nasarawa State, said the executives of the organized labour met with the minister of labour over the matter.
He hinted that the national body of the union expressed displeasure during its executive and administrative council over non payment of July/August salaries to core civil servants.
The spokesman described the steps taken by the state government as humiliation and alienation of certain categories of civil servants.
He also said that the state government defaulted the two months salaries in the name of the no work, no pay policy.
“In our meeting with the state government officials, we realized that workers were paid their September salary while July/August is on hold, nowhere in the constitution stated that civil servants should not be paid for going on strike,” he explained.
When asked whether the organized labour would embark on strike action if the state government fails to go back to the status quo, Sarki said the union would not back out from the ongoing negotiation.
The state government recently set up a 22 man committee headed by the state deputy governor, Silas Agara and eight weeks was given to the committee to submit its report.
