The
Judiciary Staff Union of Nigeria (JUSUN) in Osun State has suspended
its 5-month old strike, following an agreement reached with the state
government.
After the agreement was reached, the union
called a congress, but it almost resulted into brawling, as the
aggrieved workers nearly lynched the Vice President, Southwest zone of
JUSUN, Jelili Obisesan, over his treat to walk out if they did not
maintain decorum.
With peace restored, the
chairman of Osun State JUSUN, Dapo Oseni, explained that the state
government had signed a Memorandum Of Understanding with the union to
Uphold the judgment of the court.
In view of the agreement, the national leadership of the union asked that the five month old strike be suspended.
Meanwhile,
the Nigerian Labour Congress (NLC), Umbrella body which JUSUN belongs
to, is presently on strike in the state for non payment of seven months
Salaries.
The Osun State Chairman of the NLC, Jacob Adekomi,
declared that the strike would continue, but assured workers in the
state that talks were on with the government to find a solution to the
crisis.
