THE National Union of Local Government Workers (NULGE), in Ekiti State has asked its members not to have anything to do with the newly-created local development council areas (LCDAs) in the state.
NULGE it was gathered asked its members in the state to shun postings to the new councils.
According to sources, the directive by NULGE was as a result of "unresolved labour issues between the union and the Ekiti State government."
Speaking on the development, the President of NULGE in Ekiti State, Comrade Bunmi Ajimoko, confirmed the action and said the move was in the best interest of the council workers in the state as, according to him, there were still labour issues to resolve with the state government.
Ajimoko, who spoke on the development via the telephone, said: "We are not opposed to the creation of new local governments or councils, but certain issues must be resolved and clarified."
The Ekiti NULGE boss said: "The creation of new councils will, no doubt, mean more expenses on the part of the government. However, there are issues that the state government is yet to resolve with us. They border on welfare and condition of service."
"We recently cried out over the issues such as CONMESS, CONHESS among others. The state government has not resolved them and our members are still denied these benefits and you want them to go and be using their hands to make ways in the forest. We told our members not to go to these new councils until all outstanding issues are resolved.
