UDS Senior staff declare strike May 12 over administrative rules

The Senior Staff Association of the University for Development Studies (UDS) has issued a notice ofan intended indefinite strike against the managers of the university from Thursday, 12 May 2022. 

The strike, according to the association, follows the refusal of the management of the university to implement the recommendations of the Ghana Tertiary Education Commission (GTEC).

A statement issued by the association on Sunday, 8 May 2022, cited “the university management’s failure to respect and implement the prudent professional recommendations of the Ghana Tertiary Education Commission (GTEC) on the concerns of Senior Staff Association in relation to qualification requirements for progression and upgrading to Senior Member Grade, contained in a letter dated December 24 2021,” as one of the reasons for the strike action.

It further mentioned the “capricious and whimsical applications of administrative rules by some heads within the university,” as another reason for the intended strike.
