Workers in Osun State to Boycott May Day Celebrations.

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, stated this in an interview with Punch correspondent in Osogbo on Tuesday.

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.”
