Osun JUSUN Declares 3-Day Warning Strike Over Unpaid Entitlements
The Judiciary Staff Union of Nigeria (JUSUN) in Osun State has declared a three-day warning strike over unpaid allowances, stalled promotions, and other entitlements. The union urges the Judiciary Service Commission to intervene and restore industrial harmony.
The Osun State chapter of the Judiciary Staff Union of Nigeria (JUSUN) has announced a three-day warning strike to protest unpaid entitlements owed to its members.
According to a statement issued on Wednesday in Osogbo by the union’s chairman, Mr. Idirs Adeniran, the outstanding issues include the prolonged non-payment of imprest, 2015 statutory allowances, unattended promotions, and staff entitlements for 2024 and 2025.
The union urged the Judiciary Service Commission (JSC) to intervene immediately in order to restore industrial harmony, improve productivity, and safeguard the integrity of the judiciary in the state.
“Resuming the suspended strike may prompt meaningful dialogue since the state government has not implemented the memorandum of agreement (MOA) signed.
“We appeal to all stakeholders in the judiciary to support JUSUN in this matter for swift action. The judiciary’s role as the last hope of the common man cannot be fulfilled without motivated staff members and adequate resources.
“We want the JSC to intervene promptly to address pending promotions, restoration of staff members’ allowance payments, staff training sponsorship, as well as the provision of official and utility vehicles for effective service delivery for judiciary staff,” the union said.
It will be recalled that JUSUN suspended an earlier strike and directed members to resume work on June 4 after a series of meetings with representatives of the Chief Justice of Nigeria, Justice Kudirat Kekere-Ekun, and other key stakeholders.
Among the union’s broader demands are the implementation of the N70,000 new minimum wage and its arrears, a 25/35 per cent salary increase, and the payment of five months’ wage awards with arrears.
