civil servant in ebonyi beging one week warning strike

Labour Unions in Ebonyi State have directed civil
servants in the state to begin a one-week warning
strike immediately, to demand payment of their
salaries.
The workers and the State Government have
been at logger-heads for several months over
payment of the fifty percent salary structure
implemented by the immediate-past
administration.
The current administration reverted to thirty-five
percent salary structure and insisted that it
would not pay the fifty percent structure after
paying it in June.
In a bulletin, the unions directed workers to stay
at home and pray for God’s intervention in the
matter.
According to the bulletin, the committee set up
by the government to resolve the issue
compromised in the recommendations contained
in its submitted report to the government.
It adds that the recommendations in the report
were without recourse to organised labour’s
submission based on the state’s economic
realities.
