Workers in Osun on Monday returned to work after the expiration of a three-day warning strike they embarked upon on the directive of the state Joint Labour Unions.
The unions had issued a notice, directing all civil servants to embark on a three-day strike to demand the payment of their salary areas and other entitlements.
The strike became necessary to demand from the state government the payment of 34 months salary arrears of 50 percent paid officers on Grade Level 08 and above, equaling 17 months full salary.
However, the workers were back to their offices, as the three-day warning strike ended on Friday, waiting for a further directive from the Joint Labour Unions.
Jacob Adekomi, the Osun chairman of NLC told reporters that the workers’ demands had not been met, saying that they were yet to have a meeting with the government.
“The government said they are in Abuja, and they would meet us when they return this week.
“We are waiting for them to meet with us so that we will know the next line of action,” he said.
