ONDO STATE WORKERS CALL OFF 30-DAY OLD STRIKE AND AGREE TO REDUCED SALARIES

 

            The 30-day old strike over unpaid salaries in Ondo state has been suspended by the organised labour after several hours of rigorous negotiation.

 

            The meeting reportedly took place at the Cocoa Conference Hall of the Alagbaka Government office in Akure, the State’s capital on Thursday and was said to have lasted for 12 hours between leaders of the organised labour and the State Government before the decision was finally made.

            It was agreed that the workers being owed would be paid. However, it will be a reduced amount from the actual debt. The striking workers are expected to resume on Monday.
