The labor mass action in Enugu State against the pressure to implement the minimum wage act may have robed the Governor of the State in a manner that has got him unrepentently annoyed over the mass action strike instituted by the labor leaders. This is as 247ureports.com gathered that the Governor, Mr. Sullivan Chime has vowed not to release the September salaries to the workers who participated in the said strike in September.
As gathered, the governor made the vow following a ruling by the Industrial labor court instructing both labor leaders and the state government to return to the negotiating table – and to reach a definitive resolution in 28days. The governor’s hard stance over the labor dispute has taken the labor leaders and the civil servants of Enugu aback – particularly since the parties have yet to begin negotiations.
Gov Chime’s refusal to pay striking workers their September salaries will affect the entire civil servants who did not sign-in to work during the strike. And as gathered, the entirety of Enugu civil servants were on strike during the said month.
