A one-week warning strike is set to take place from June 16 to June 20, 2025, after a two-week ultimatum issued on May 29 expired on June 13 without resolution.
The Joint Union of Tertiary Institutions has announced the strike over unmet demands regarding salary structure and retirement age for non-teaching staff.
According to Comrade U.S. Suleiman, chairman of JAC NBPZ, the union's leadership has been acting within the mandate granted by Congress, reaffirming their collective resolve.
The union remains united and resolute in their commitment to the struggle, emphasizing that authority rests with the Congress, which has made a clear and definitive decision.
The strike follows the expiration of the ultimatum, which was issued due to the government's failure to meet the union's demands. The union's leadership has formally communicated their decisions to the government, and stakeholders are eagerly awaiting a resolution to the impasse.
As the strike dates approach, it's clear that the union is prepared to take a stand for their rights. The outcome of the strike will likely have significant implications for the tertiary institutions and the government.
With the union's determination and solidarity, it remains to be seen whether the government will respond to the union's demands or if the strike will proceed as planned.
