Judicial workers in Ogun state, have issued notice of an indefinite strike, to the state government, to protest the unpaid 40 per cent peculiar allowance
The indefinite strike is scheduled to start as from Monday, April 8.
Publicity secretary of the state chapter of judicial staff union of Nigeria (JUSUN), Adewale Adenekan, in a statement, directed judicial workers to stay at home as from Monday, next week, until further notice.
The indefinite strike is a follow-up to a five day warning strike embarked upon by the judicial workers last month, to compel the state government to extend the payment of the allowance to them.
Adenekan recalled that the union after the warning strike, issued additional 14 day notice from March 18, which expired on April 1.
He said the union was resorting to an indefinite strike, because the state government has refused to meet their demands or invite its officials for talks
