Mr Samson Chikwelu, state chairman of the union made the disclosure in a chat with our correspondent on Friday in Awka.
The union had directed that its members in the 21 local governments of the state to stay away from work from Monday, April 7 till April 13 for their safety from possible attacks.
Chikwelu said the reversion of the directive followed a meeting with the officials of the state government on Thursday, April 7.
According to him, the earlier action was as a result of our workers and facilities being target by gunmen.
He alleged that the government had not done enough to ensure safety of workers.
The chairman said that the union lost a member in the recent attack at the Nnewi North headquarters in Ukpo.
It would be recalled that gunmen attacked Nnewi North Council headquarters, Ukpor last week where a security man on duty was killed.
But while the union was still pressing on the Ukpor problem, gunmen yet attacked Aguata Council headquarters Ekwulobia on Thursday, and razed some buildings and vehicles within the complex.
Chikwelu said the State Executive Council of NUGLE would convene a meeting on April 12 to further deliberate on the matter, while advising members to still be attending work and be security conscious.
