ZL Global Alliance refutes allegation of non payment of workers’ salary
The attention of management of ZL global Alliance has been drawn to the claims by some people who claimed to be our workers alleging that we are owing them salary. They also alleged that our firm did not provide them brooms and other equipment to work with.
The acclaimed workers had on a radio programme alleged that our firm was owning them November and December salary and that the firm only gave them parker and brooms once in a year.
While we do not want to join issues with those we could call agents of distraction, it is however important that we set the record straight to show the discerning members of the public that the allegations are false.
Contrary to the false claims, ZL Global Alliance as a reputable waste management company prioritizes workers’ welfare and makes regular payment of salary a deliberate policy to encourage workers and motivate them to give their best.
In December last year, we had to borrow money to pay their salary because of our commitment to their welfare. We are only owing February salary because government is yet to pay our company for the month of February.
We also have photo evidence to show that we gave them brooms and other items contrary to their misleading claims.
We also need to emphasize that as a responsible firm, we pay our workers as and when due and we also provide them free medical services to ensure they are in good state of health because of their exposure to dirt and other unhygienic items.
We also ensure that nursing mothers with two kids get free medical services and drugs in furtherance of our commitment to their welfare and in line with our policy to ensure that our workers get necessary care as a reward for their much appreciated labour.
We urge members of the public to disregard the claims because our investigation has revealed that those making the allegations are not on our payroll and our genuine workers have dissociated themselves from the blackmail carefully designed by some unscrupulous elements to rubbish our modest and sincerest effort at keeping the state clean.
We believe the fumes were orchestrated by some misguided elements to tarnish our company’s image.
The ZL Global Alliance is committed to achieving the vision of Governor Oluwarotimi Akeredolu for a cleaner Ondo state and we shall not in anyway be distracted by a calculated cheap blackmail to lower our reputation in the estimation of the public.
