The union explained that it had repeatedly engaged the government on the matter without success. Previous letters, including one acknowledged on May 30 and a reminder sent on July 8, were ignored, leaving workers frustrated over what they described as neglect of their welfare.

According to the union, the strike will begin on Monday, August 25, 2025, if the state government fails to act. Such action, they warned, would bring judicial activities to a halt and disrupt the entire legal system in the state.
JUSUN insisted that implementing CONJUSS is non-negotiable, describing it as central to ensuring both fair compensation and the independence of the judiciary. The workers argued that continued denial of the new salary structure undermines their role and weakens judicial autonomy.
The union stressed that its members have reached a breaking point after months of waiting. It vowed not to withdraw the strike threat unless the state government meets their demands, stating that they are prepared to take firm action to secure better conditions for judiciary staff across Kwara.
The warning comes at a time when industrial disputes are mounting across sectors, raising concerns about how the government will respond to prevent a total shutdown of court operations in the state.
