BARRING last minute suspension, Imo State workers will today commence an indefinite industrial action over unresolved industrial dispute with the state government.
The threat was contained in a statement by the State Public Service Negotiating Council, SPSNC, Trade Union Side, signed by the State Chairmen of Joint Negotiating Council, JNC, and Nigeria Labour Congress, NLC, Comrade Coleman Okwara and Dr. Reginald Anyadike respectively and four others.
The circular read: “Labour has observed with dismay and consternation that government, in its usual disposition, has reneged by refusing to sign the agreement jointly reached with labour.”
The labour leaders argued that “this singular act portends high level of distrust, deceit and neglect to the principle of collective bargaining.”
They directed that “from the foregoing, workers under the Imo State Government employment are hereby called to sit at home from Wednesday, May 30, 2012”.
