The Judiciary Staff Union of Nigeria (JUSUN) has suspended its plan to embark on a two-day warning strike from March 12-14.
This is contained in a communique issued in Abuja on Monday.
According to the statement, the Minister of Labour and Productivity, Chief Emeka Wogu, intervened in the trade dispute at a meeting with the leadership of JUSUN and representatives of three other parastatals.
JUSUN decided to go on strike over alleged failure by relevant institutions to implement a judgment of the Federal High Court Abuja on January 13.
The body yielded to the request by Wogu and suspended the strike but gave two conditions to be met, to forestall its future strike.
The conditions include meeting between the minister and Accountant-General and Auditors-General of states and federal governments on the issue.
JUSUN also stated that the minister should further communicate the issue to the Attorney-General and Minister of Justice.
Other organisations represented at the meeting included the National Judicial Council (NJC), the Federal Judicial Service Commission (FJSC) and the National Salaries, Income and Wages Commission (NSIWC).
