Olanrewaju added that the decision of the state government to enact such law without the consideration of the Labour leaders is immoral and unconstitutional.Â
He described the new Pension Reform law as an attempt to allegedly maltreat the senior citizens in the state.
The JNC chairman, however, said failure to reverse the law within seven days will lead to industrial action by the workers in the state.
“The council, therefore, appealed to the generality of workers to response their confidence in the leadership of Organised Labour to resolve this unfavourable pension reform law meted out to the law-abiding workers of Ogun State. We will surely keep updated on the next line of action” he concluded.
