ALL I CAN SAY IS THAT SARAKI IS A FOOL.
The workers don't work for saraki,the work for Federal government as Civil servants..an their their strike affect the job of the Senators as well as Representatives.. They work for the civil service commission.. and they reason why their allowance hasn't been paid is due to the fact that the former board didn't work on it,and last week,the Senate sent Buharis nominated persons to the president so he can append his signature. My Inlaw works there.

A fool at 56 is a fool forever. Imagine threathening workers who are crying out for their unpaid allowances running into months while you go home with your full salary and allowances running into millions. Is he not ashamed? Yet some idiots will put the bulk of the blame at Buhari's desk.
COURT STOPS LABOUR FROM COMMENCING STRIKE ON NOVEMBER 6
News
Tell your friends
A Court has ordered the Nigeria Labour Congress to shelve its strike action scheduled to begin on November 6, because it will hurt the economy.
Organised labour has been threatening the federal government with a strike action over a new national minimum wage.
The minimum wage is currently pegged at N18,000 monthly. Labour wants that reviewed to N30,000 monthly, but the federal government is holding out for N25,000; with state governors saying they can only afford to pay N22,500.
A tripartite committee made up of organised labour, the federal government and the private sector has also not been able to resolve the wage crisis.
Labour has repeatedly said as things stand, it has been left with no option but to shut down the nation’s economy beginning from November 6, 2018.
Justice Kado throws spanner in the works
However, on Friday, November 2, 2018, Justice Sanusi Kado of the Industrial Court ruled on an ex parte application moved on behalf of the federal government by the Solicitor-General of the Federation and Permanent Secretary, Federal Ministry of Justice, Mr. Dayo Apata.
Justice Kado agreed with Apata’s prayers to wit: if the strike is allowed to commence, it will lead to huge economic loss for the public and private sectors and could jeopardise the health of many Nigerians who would not be able to access health facilities during the period.
Justice Kado has adjourned further hearing on the case to November 8.
The judge also ordered that the court papers be dispatched to all the defendants.
The review of a minimum wage has often been a subject of dispute between the government and organised labour.

NASS leadership should've done better, nonetheless sending Dullard to Daura should be the most patriotic thing to do by every sensible Nigerian come 2019.
NASS leadership that illegally doles out a minimum of 15m naira a month - you call patriotic


That engaged in budget padding, illegal constituency allowances — in short,a group of people that specialize in stealing from their own country.
Re: Strike: Saraki Sues Workers Of National Assembly by deomelllo: 2:32pm On Dec 20, 2018
Sarathief and his PDP looting and stealing gang don loot workers salaries in the true PDP looting and stealing tradition.

Just imagine, they owe the workers, the workers will celebrate empty stomach Christmas and this thoughtless man's answer is to sue the same workers he refused to pay.

They want to run the country, but common salary they can not pay.

This is why we must not let these thieves go anywhere near our treasury.

He didn't sue them, he only obtained a court order restraining them from going on strike. I'm not a lawyer, that's just my opinion

Attention everyone!

Please, do not rush to blame Saraki on this. Y'all know how sensitive Saraki always handle issues. I repeat, do not rush like the Zombies up there to crucified Saraki on this until we know who and who are responsible for the workers payment. Thank you for your understanding.

Why not obtain court order and EFCC petition to find out what happened to their salaries?

Are the lawmakers including saraki not getting paid
?

He probably thought there was no justification for going on strike.

Personally I don't think striking is the best way to solve disputes of this nature but Nigeria isnt a sane clime so anything goes

Wikiforum:
Nigeria’s Senate President Dr. Bukola Saraki has sued workers of the National Assembly for embarking on an industrial action over unpaid allowances.

In a an ex-parte motion issued by the National Industrial Court of Nigeria in Abuja, and which was signed by the Assistant Chief Registrar, Hauwa Yakubu, Esq., the Senate President, Dr Bukola Saraki, Speaker of the House of Representatives, Rt. Hon. Yakubu Dogara sought a restraining order stopping the workers under the Parliamentary Staff Association of Nigeria (PASAN) from proceeding on strike.

The “order of interim injunction”, issued through suit No. NICN/ABJ/360/2018 dated 18th December, 2018, directed the leadership of PASAN and their agents to refrain from proceeding on strike.

It states inter alia:

“An order of interim injunction restraining all the defendants /respondents, particularly their agents, provides, servants, however called from taking steps to proceed or proceeding on strike, pending the determination of the motion. ”

“An interim injunction restraining PASAN, their agents, privies, servants from giving directives to their members to proceed or proceeding on strike.”

The Parliamentary Staff Association of Nigeria in the National Assembly on Monday embarked on a four-day warning strike over unpaid allowances to the tune of N2.7 billion.

PULSE NAIJA reports also that PASAN members were stopped from gaining access to the National Assembly on Wednesday when President Muhammadu Buhari presented the 2019 appropriation bill.

SARAKI WANT TO USE COURT FIGHT NATIONAL ASSEMBLY WORKERS?

He too think the senate that he leads deserve justice?

What about the masses who is fighting for the masses?

Chairman, Google is your friend now! National Assembly workers are under National Assembly Service Commission and not Civil Service Commission.

NASS workers in sane climes are not on strike for non payment of salaries so there's no way for you to know what they will do in sane climes facing the same situation.

The most stupid and irrational of all, is that people would still wake to shout "one Nigeria". That people still want to be part of this country is shameful. A foreigner is ruling them in Aso Rock yet no protest no agitaion. They spend billions of their money to buy votes, no protest no agitation yet they claim they want a better life.. Shame to anyone that calls himself a Nigerian.
keep all this your bla bla and try to base on the topic it you have any protest carry it out I know you will have supporters

Remove FG from this saraki kpalaba. Saraki is the head of legislature and therefore responsible for everything that has to do with NASS. Or why do you think it's Saraki and not FG that headed to court on this matter?
Saraki should quickly pay them there salary. Period!

Let the court adjudicate, instead of applying the illegal 'no work no pay' or Tinubu's measure of mass sacking of workers.

We must learn to follow the rule of law, always.
