Resume or be sacked, Ebonyi Govt tells striking judiciary workers

Umahi

The Ebonyi Government has ordered members of the Judiciary Staff Union of Nigeria (JUSUN) in the state, to immediately suspended their industrial action or be sacked.

The JUSUN members in the state embarked on the indefinite strike on Aug.13 over non-implementation of the Consolidated Judiciary Salary Structure (CJSS) by the state government.

The union defiled Gov. David Umahi’s threat in a recent state function, to sack the members if they embarked on the strike.

The government’s order for the strike’s suspension is contained in a statement issued on Friday in Abakaliki by Dr. Chamberlain Nwele, Ebonyi Head of Service, mandating the JUSUN leadership to immediately comply with the order.

JUSUN members in the state are therefore directed to return to work on Friday, Aug.14, or risk being dismissed from service.

“Attendance of judiciary staff will be taken by state government officials, to aid payment of August 2020 salary,” the statement read.

Nwele in the statement noted that Gov. David Umahi considers the strike as an act of sabotage that the government will not tolerate.

“This is a period when other states of the federation are unable to pay workers’ salaries due to the negative impact of COVID-19.

“The Ebonyi Government has painstakingly ensured that salaries of workers are consistently paid.

“It, therefore, believes that agitation for a salary increase at this time when the state‘s revenue is on steady decline is unpatriotic.

Airline pilot was "sucked halfway out" when cockpit windshield broke

                              An airline pilot had a close brush with death when he was "sucked halfway out" of the plane after a cockpit windshield blew out. A Sichuan Airlines flight was forced to make an emergency landing on Monday and it was later reported that the reason for the emergency landing was because the cockpit windshield blew out and almost tossed the pilot out of the plane. But for his seat belt, he would have been sucked out completely. Captain Liu Chuanjian has been hailed as a hero on social media after having to land the Airbus A319 manually.
