Addressing the leadership of organised labour in the state, which included Nigeria labour Congress (NLC), Trade Union Congress (TUC) and Joint Negotiating Council (JNC), Governor Oshiomhole said he had informed President Goodluck Jonathan about what he called workers political strike.
"I am taking corresponding political action. Everyday there is no work, salary will not be paid," the governor said.
He told the leadership of organised labour that he had already given directives to Secretary to State Government on what government plans to do if the workers fail to call-off the strike by Monday.
The governor berated the workers for going on strike without following due process even as he gave assurance that state government was still committed to the course of implementing the minimum wage for teachers in Edo State, but with a proviso that the teachers must follow the rule of engagement, as contained in the agreement organised labour signed with government.
Oshiomhole, who accused labour of taking a political contract from his political opponents in the state, however, warned that the striking teachers, who had earlier embarked on a unilateral strike action, would be dismissed if they breach the rules of their engagement.
Culled from the SUN.
Gov. Adams Oshiomole was the president of NLC ordering strike before he became the governor of Edo State. Now the shoe is in the leg.
