Civil Servants in Ondo State have decided to proceed on strike over non-payment of their salaries and allowances.
The Sunshine State workers, who were being owned three to four months salaries and areas, have vowed to down tools by Wednesday if the State government led by Governor Olusegun Mimiko refused to pay them all outstanding and deductions from their salaries.
The aggrieved workers, speaking through the State Chairman of the Joint Public Service Negotiating Council (JNC), Comrade Sunday Adeleye, made the vow while speaking to journalists on Monday, in Akure, the state capital.
Comrade Adeleye said the indefinite strike became imperative after the workers had last week issued a seven-day ultimatum to the state government to without further delay commence the payment of their salary.
“We have been meeting with the representatives of the state government since last week after issuing a statement of a seven-day ultimatum and it was all deadlocked.
“But if by tomorrow (Tuesday) the state government failed to yield our demand, the Union will have no other option than to call a congress by Wednesday and a total strike action will be declared indefinite”.
