Organised Labour in Ekiti state has warned the management of the Ekiti State University Teaching Hospital (EKSUTH) against what it called mass sack of its workforce, to avert industrial disharmony between workers and governor Kayode Fayemi-led administration. It will be recalled that management of the Ekiti State University (EKSU) had on December 5 sacked over 600 workers of the institution with allegations of irregular appointments. The TUC boss added that the organised labour would resist the attempt to sack workers without following public service laid down rules, saying sack was not the best option to compensate staff that had made sacrifices for effective healthcare delivery in the hospital. According to him, “When we came for this interface, we thought it was a rumour that workers will be sacked. Workers are responsible people and would not condone indiscipline, because EKSUTH has no good reason to sack anybody with what we heard.
