Edo to workers: Shun strike or face ‘no work, no pay’

The Edo State Government has directed workers in the state Public Service to shun the strike action embarked on by the Nigeria Labour Congress and stay at their duty posts.
It said any worker who shuns work under the guise of strike will forfeit his or her pay.
The Government in a statement by the Head of Service, Gladys Idahor, said: “All workers are expected to be at their duty posts. Any worker who stays away from work will forfeit his or her pay as ‘no work, no pay’ will be strictly enforced.
“All public schools and institutions are expected to remain open as school is in session.
“Heads of Departments and Parastatals are directed to keep records of workers’ attendance for further action.
“Workers in Edo State Public Service should be aware that the current strike embarked on by the NLC is illegal as the National Industrial Court had issued a restraining order on the strike.”
