Chairman of the Trade Union Congress (TUC) in Ekiti State, Kolawole Olaiya, has expressed concern over the non-payment of four-month arrears of salaries.
In a letter to Governor Ayo Fayose, Olaiya said workers could go on strike. He said many government employees have become beggars. In the letter entitled: The right of workers to go on strike as a veritable instrument of labour, Olaiya advised the governor to stop coercing the workers against going on an industrial action. Olaiya, who on February was compulsorily retired from the civil service for maintaining that the Fayose administration had received a bailout fund from the Federal Government. After facing an Administrative Panel of Inquiry, Olaiya, a lawyer, was demoted from Principal Legal Officer Grade Level 12 to State Counsel Grade Level 10. He won a case at the Nigeria Industrial Court, Akure Division, which held that he remained the authentic TUC Chairman in Ekiti but the government recognises Odunayo Adesoye. He vowed to challenge his sack and not stop his agitation for better welfare for Ekiti workers.
