Akure-------------- Civil servants in Ondo State have threatened to down tools over government’s failure to pay their outstanding salaries.
The workers are demanding for their leave bonus and other entitlements pending over the years.
The workers, under the Joint Negotiating Council, JNC, gave the five day ultimatum in a letter made available to reporters in Akure weekend.
They gave Governor Oluwarotimi Akeredolu till Wednesday, July 15, 2020 to do the needful or face strike action by workers.
Their decision to embark on an industrial action was contained in a letter to the governor and jointly signed by state Chairman of JNC, Oluwaniyi Fabunmi and the Secretary, Kehinde Olomiye.
The letter read, “We write to bring to your attention the already ‘gathered cloud’ of very serious impending Labour/Government face-off which will be the very first in the life of your administration as the elected Governor of Ondo State.”
The JNC however, called for negotiations or the workers would go on strike.
