JPSNC Urges Rivers Workers To Support Govt’s Policies
The Joint Public Service Negotiating Council (JPSNC), Rivers State chapter, has called on workers in the state to support the policies of the Rivers State Government under the present administration in the state.
In an interview with The Tide in Port Harcourt last Wednesday, the Chairman of the union, Comrade Chukwu Emecheta, said that the workers have many benefits to derive from their maximum support for the success of the present administration.
Emecheta said that the organised labour and their affiliate unions are happy with the prudent and transparent utilisation of funds by the government to complete projects in the state and payment of salaries.
He said that workers in the public service must always exhibit their unflinching loyalty to the government in the discharge of their duties and assigned responsibilities.
He explained that the union’s leadership is not resting on its oars to ensure that all outstanding arrears of the workers’ entitlements and pensioners’ gratuity are cleared by the state government, stressing that the workers should continue to have trust in the competence and capacity of the union’s leadership to dialogue with the government to achieve results.
He added that the Joint Council in conjunction with other affiliate unions leaderships would commence the collection of data, names, ministries and agencies where workers have been stagnated over the years on one particular position without progression to the next grade level commensurate with their years of service and incremental payment.
He assured the workers that through dialogue and presentation of facts and figures to the state governor, the issues affecting the workers would honestly be looked into with a view to addressing such issues in favour of the workers.
Emecheta stressed that the union would not support truancy and indiscipline on the part of the workers, saying, they must diligently and dutifully discharge their responsibilities to ensure the effective implementation of government’s policies.
He said that the union is overwhelmed with the level of development projects executed by the state government across the state and urged the state government to remain focused to deliver more projects that have meaningful impact on the lives of the people.
The labour leader called for continued synergy between the union’s leadership and the state government to ensure industrial peace in the state.
