It implies that various state courts across the country may not be opened for sittings as from Friday (today), until JUSUN directs otherwise.
The union, in a communiqué on Thursday, said the strike was, among others, to press home its demand for various state governments in the country to comply with court judgments which granted financial autonomy at both the state and federal levels.
In the communiqué, which was issued in Abuja at the end of the emergency meeting of the National Executive Committee of union, the union also expressed support for the ongoing strike embarked upon by its members in the Rivers State as a result of the current judiciary crisis in the state.
The communiqué was jointly signed by its National President of the union, Mr. Marwan Adamu, and its General Secretary, Mr. Isaiah Adetola.
The union directed its members in the federal judiciary to be on the alert as they could also be asked to join the strike anytime, in solidarity with their state counterparts.
The communiqué read in part, "After the exhaustive deliberation on the refusal/failure of state governments to respect/implement the Federal High Court, Abuja, judgment /orders in respect of financial autonomy of state judiciaries as well as failure of stakeholders to abide by the decision to set up a technical implementation committee of the FAAC meeting of June 17, 2014, it is resolved by NEC as follows:
"That all Judiciary staff at state level nationwide should proceed on an indefinite strike with effect from Friday, July 11, 2014.
"That the national secretariat of the union shall notify federal judiciary workers to join the action as events unfolds.
"That the National Executive Committee of the union, after a review of events in Rivers State Judiciary, also resolved that JUSUN members in the state should continue and sustain their current strike until the major stakeholders, fine an amicable resolution of the leadership crisis in Rivers state judiciary. Meanwhile the NEC in session has announced total takeover of action in River State."
The union described as "unfair" the situation whereby the National Judicial Council and the Rivers State Judicial Service Commission were issuing separate conflicting directives for and against returning to work.
It added that its members could not serve two masters.
