He said: “The council condemns the intimidation and harassment of labour leaders for fighting for the legitimate right of the workers. The Governor of Ogun State is advise to imbibe the culture of collective bargaining principle by dialoguing with organised labour for peaceful settlement of the impasse.
“The council also is in total support of the strike by Ogun State workers and urges the government to get the issues in dispute resolved and allow the existing industrial peace reign soonest to avoid being escalated across the country”.
