UDS Senior Staff Association To Embark On Strike On Thursday
The Senior Staff Association branch at the University for Development Studies (UDS) has threatened to embark on an indefinite industrial action on Thursday, May 12, 2022.
In a release signed by the chairman of the SSA chapter of UDS, Zakaria Mohammed, six grievances necessitating the industrial action were cited.
Among their grievances include the failure of the management of the university to implement recommendations of the Ghana Tertiary Education Commission (GTEC) in relation to qualification requirements for progression and upgrading to Senior Member Grade.
Also, is the “capricious and whimsical application of administrative rules by some heads within the university.
“Unprovoked, unprofessional, intimidations, undesirable frustrations and attritions leading up to series of regrettable, unfortunate, and painful resignations born out of deep-seated psychological trauma and emotions by some member of the Senior Staff cadre with huge institutional memory and experiences.
“Delay in attending to promotion applications corresponding to successful interviewee and withholding of the issuance of promotion appointments of some members of the Senior Staff in an inexplicably bizarre circumstance.
“Failure to apply Notion Date to successful Senior Staff interviewee, as done to Senior Members.
“Lack of coordination and cooperation between management and union leaders coupled with threats against union executives with the highest form of impunity, watering down the mouthpiece inalienable right bequeathed to us by the Labour Act (Act 2003) of the Republic of Ghana.”
The association has therefore called for an immediate probe into their grievances for adequate solutions to be provided by Wednesday, May 11, 2022.
