Your strike illegal, ill-advised – Enugu government blasts judiciary workers
The Enugu State Government, Monday, urged striking members of the Judicial Staff Union of Nigeria, JUSUN, to return to work.
This is as the Attorney General and Commissioner for Justice, in the State, Hon. Meletus Eze has declared as illegal the strike embarked upon by the judiciary workers for non-implementation of their enhanced, “consolidate,” salary structure.

The judiciary staff of all the courts in the state yesterday downed tools over the non-implementation of the salary structure, CONJUSS.
The entrance gate to the state high court, magistrate courts, customary courts and many other state courts were locked up, while judges and magistrates abandoned the courts.
However, efforts to reach the chairman of the JUSUN, Barr. Chinedu Mba to comment on the strike, were unfruitful at the time of filing this report.
But the justice commissioner, who spoke on the development, described the strike as illegal, pointing out that it was even more annoying considering the fact that the government was not owing the judiciary workers.
Eze recalled that the issue of consolidated salary for judiciary workers came to the table in 2010 after Chief Judges came together with the CONJUSS and imposed same on States.
He said that the JUSUN took the proposal to states and demanded that it should be implemented.
Eze, however, said that the Enugu State Government took the matter to the National Industrial Court and that on the 23rd September, 2016, the government secured an injunction barring the workers from going ahead to coerce government into adopting the salary structure.
He stressed that “they have not appealed against the injunction”, and wondered why they took the option of strike even when efforts were on by committee already set-up by government to resolve the impasse amicably.
