Public servants in Ondo State are to begin an indefinite strike tomorrow, if the government fails to pay all outstanding salaries and deductions.
The workers, through the State Chairman of the Joint Public Service Negotiating Council (JNC), Sunday Adeleye, said the seven-day ultimatum given to the government had expired.
He said: “We have been meeting with the government representative since last week after issuing a statement of a seven-day ultimatum.
“But if by today, the government fails to accede to our demand, the union will have no other option than to call a congress and a total indefinite strike will be declared.”
Last week, the workers issued a seven-day ultimatum to the government to pay their entitlements.
They said cooperative societies were no longer functioning due to unpaid deductions.
The ultimatum was contained in a statement by Adeleye after a meeting with labour leaders.
Adeleye, in the statement, said the non-payment of deductions showed that the government was insensitive to their plight.
