The organised labour in Benue on Thursday ordered its members to embark on an indefinite strike on October 3 in protest of the non-payment of salaries, pensions and gratuities owed in the state.
Some retirees have yet to receive their gratuities.
The labour leaders said the decision was made by the joint State Executive Council (SEC) of the unions after the expiration of the 7-day warning strike by the organised labour in the state.
They regretted government’s inability to settle their demands and also said that all avenues for arbitration on the matter was useless.
“SEC resolved to embark on total, comprehensive and indefinite strike action with effect from Tuesday, October 3, 2017 to press home its demand for payment of entitlements,” they said.
