The Judiciary Staff Union of Nigeria (JUSUN), Osun State Chapter, has issued a three-day warning strike over unpaid entitlements.
The unpaid entitlements include; prolonged non-payment of imprest, 2015 statutory allowances with unattended promotions, and staff entitlements for 2024 and 2025.
This is contained in a statement issued by the Osun JUSUN’s Chairman, Mr Idiris Adeniran, on Wednesday in Osogbo.
The union urged the Judiciary Service Commission (JSC) to restore industrial harmony, enhance productivity and uphold the integrity of the Osun State Judiciary.
”Resuming the suspended strike may prompt meaningful dialogue since the state government has but 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 can not be fulfilled without motivated staff members and adequate resources.
