JUSUN declares indefinite strike in Osun

The Judiciary Staff Union of Nigeria, JUSUN, Osun State Chapter has embarked on an indefinite industrial action with immediate effect. The strike was declared on Wednesday, Nov. 22, by the chairman of JUSUN in the state, Oluwagbenga Olakunle Eludire. Eludire said that Osun Chief Judge, Justice Adepele Ojo, had declared war against workers, adding that the union would not back down unless answers were provided. The strike is coming on the heels of the protest on Monday and Tuesday, Nov. 20 and Nov. 21, by Osun JUSUN over the allegations of maladministration against the embattled Osun Chief Judge, Justice Oyebola Adepele Ojo. The JUSUN members also accused her of unduly persecuting some members of staff and denying them entitlements ranging from restoration of training exercises and arrears of wardrobe allowances from 2021 to 2023. Announcing the strike, Eludire stated some of their demands, including that, Regularisation and promotion exercise without further delay should be effected. Also other benefits that members of JUSUN are entitled to should be effected without further delays. Eludire directed all Judiciary workers in the state to stay away from the courts and their offices and withdraw their services. He said that the union had protested at the office of the CJ to trash unresolved issues which include the unlawful suspension of some of its members for over 57 months without a recourse to the Judicial Service Commission.The post JUSUN declares indefinite strike in Osun appeared first on Linda Ikeji Blog.
