Labour unions in Osun State have agreed to boycott
the activities to mark the 2015 May Day due to the
non-payment of five months’ salaries by the state
government.

The factional Chairman of the Trade Union Congress,
Mr. Francis Adetunji, said this in an interview with
our correspondent in Osogbo on Tuesday.
He said that this was the agreement reached by
labour leaders, saying workers would stay away from
the May Day celebration which holds on May 1 every
year.

Adetunji said, “ No May Day celebration this year.
That is the decision of the entire workers in Osun
State. We cannot be celebrating when workers have
not been paid a dime since the beginning of the
year.

“The last salary we were paid was part-payment of
November salary. Since then, we have not collected
any salary. We will not celebrate the May Day
because our salaries are not paid.”

The TUC factional chairman also debunked the claim
in some quarters that the refusal of Governor Rauf
Aregbesola to approve the budget proposal for the
Workers’ Day celebration prompted his call on
workers to go on the three-day warning strike last
week.

He said, “There was nothing like that. We did not
present any budget before the government
concerning Workers’ Day.

The only request we want to make to the governor is
that he should look for money by all means and pay
workers.

“ We are hungry. I am very serious, our workers are
very hungry and only those who are close to workers
will know the severity of this hunger.”

He said that the governor invited labour leaders to a
meeting which was supposed to have held on
Monday but labour leaders postponed the meeting
because of the preparations for the election of state
officials of the Nigeria Labour Congress coming up on
Thursday April 23.

Adetunji scored Aregbesola administration high in
infrastructural development but said the governor
should do something urgently to redeem his image
among the workers because of the irregular payment
of workers’ salaries which according to him started
since after the August 2014 governorship election.

They always accuse others of tribalism but they are not just covert tribalists but hate filled vultures.

let their hate lead their stomach to a place where hunger finds solace.

Aregbe, please do something and pay the workers nah.

This buttresses the fact that apart from Lagos State which was collectively built by all Nigerians, other states in the SW need oyel money but with what they write on nairaland one would think they have arrived heaven already.

Just a drop in monthly allocations and workers are starving in Osun.

This is why we must all be humble and put hands together to move this nation forward instead of some people calling other citizens guests and asking them to go back to their region. Only in Nigeria do you hear a citizen telling another that he is being 'accommodated.'

Forget about a handful of the people who are divisionary and see the bigger picture. They are found in every tribe and region.

Most of the times I ignore them.

The same situation abounds in many other state that has experienced a significant drop in their allocation.

The oyel belongs to Nigeria. It is our common wealth.

Hunger kwa

Thank you but the way most Yorubas write on this forum you would think that they don't need Nigeria, alas, the only state that can stand without support from sales of crude oil is Lagos which was collectively built by all Nigerians.

For the bold part, please extend this mindset to the cosmopolitan Lagos which was jointly built. I believe in mutual respect and urge all my people to do same

Anyways, I don't want to dabble into some funny things but I wish about 10% of your people could reason like you; things would be much better.

The Yorubas cannot claim to have solely developed Lagos otherwise they would have done same in the other five SW states so also the Igbos, otherwise they would have built another Lagos in the East by now.

In other words you are caling Ngerdelta oil as no man's oli abi? but if we call lagos no mans land,all hell abi all lagoon would be let loose

let dem work on that day,then.

Truly this man is good t what he do. But what he do isn't that good.

Rauf you must imitate Fayose ooo. Give them RICE! If possible tell your wife to cook it, put it in a cooler then serve it out yourself.

Enjoy your suffering!
You brought it upon yourself.
