Ekiti workers suspend strike
Share on FacebookShare on Twitter

The organised labour in Ekiti State has suspended its ongoing three day warning strike embarked upon to protest over the failure of the state government to pay its members’ entitlements.

The industrial action which began on Monday was suspended indefinitely sequel to the government’s readiness to meet some of the demands outlined by organised labour at a meeting held midnight Sunday.

Despite the action taken to pacify the aggrieved labour leaders, the strike was successful on Monday before the dramatic turn of events, as workers complied with the labour’s directive, by shunning their duty posts.

In a communique issued in Ado-Ekiti on Monday at the end of the negotiation meeting held by both government and labour delegations, government agreed to immediately effect the financial benefits of 2015 promotion by September, 2020, while that of the 2016 to 2019 will follow.
