They reiterated their accusations that all 36 state governors had deliberately resisted the implementation of a Federal High Court judgement to put judiciary funds under the first line charge.
By such refusal, the union said, they were frustrating the independence of the judiciary.
The workers added that following the failure to implement an MoU dated November 27, 2014, which was agreed on following interventions from various quarters, they had declared an indefinite strike to commence January 2, 2015.
The strike, it added, would continue until there was total compliance with the judgement of the court and the terms of the MoU.
JUSUN, in a statement signed by its National President, Comrade Marwan Mustapha Adamu, and National Assistant Secretary, Comrade Placidus Nnamani, said none of the judgment debtors of parties served with the order of the court had appealed against it till date.
The union recalled that it embarked on strikes at separate times during the year, but had called them off following mediations and interventions from relevant stakeholders including the Secretary to Government of the Federation, Minister of Labour, Principal Officers in the National Assembly, and others.
"...Based on the above, it was concluded that the Accountant General of the Federation (AGF) will make deductions during the next FAAC meeting to the National Judicial Council in line with the court judgement based on the actual funds released..." the statement read.
It added that by refusing to implement, the judgement debtors(Governors) have conspired not to allow a constitutionally guaranteed arm of the government to exercise its due rights.
