THE Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) Kaduna State Council, has said the government is yet to pay the salaries of over 20,000 workers.
The state NLC Chairman, Ayuba Suileman, told reporters that workers in the state would, on Monday, begin a five-day warning strike over the mass sacking of more than 6,000 workers by the government.
He said, “The strike would commence on Monday through to Friday as a warning. The essence of the strike is that we want the state government to reverse the decision of sacking the huge number of workers.
“Workers in the state are not happy. They are jittery. The state government is using random indiscriminate deposition to send people packing.
“No worker in Kaduna State is at rest. They are jittery and are not performing optimally. While they have paid April salaries, over 20,000 people have not received their salaries.”
Suleiman, however, expressed hope that the Governor Nasir el-Rufai, would rescind his decision.
He said, “The state governor is looking difficult, and from antecedence, he does not have a good relationship with trade unions and the Nigeria Labour Congress.
“We will try to persuade him through this strike and hope he rescinds the decision of sacking over 6,000 workers.”
