College of Education Academic Staff Union, COEASU, Agbor Chapter, has commenced a one-week warning strike in line with the directive from the national leadership of the union.
This came as the three labour unions in the Delta State Colleges of Education in Agbor, Mosogar and Warri, have served notice of strike action to the state government.
In a statement by Dr. Anthony Ossai and Patrick Kwaja, the union’s Chairman and Secretary, respectively, said that the decision to embark on the industrial action was taken at an emergency congress held on Monday at the college premises.
The statement noted that the National Executive Council, NEC, of COEASU, at a meeting held on September 4, in Abuja, frowned at the failure of Federal Government to respect the past agreement it reached with the Union.
Another source of dispute, according to the statement, was the decision of government to remove the staff of demonstration schools from government pay-roll.
