LASU THREATENS STRIKE AGAIN.

Declaration of a Trade Dispute dated April 1 and signed by its
Chairman, Dr Adekunle Idris.
A copy of the bulletin made available said that the decision to give the
ultimatum was taken at a congress of the union.
The union said in the bulletin that they would embark on an
indefinite strike if the demands were not met at the expiration of
the ultimatum.

“We hereby give a 21-day ultimatum effective from March 24, to
the governing council to implement all matters already agreed.
“At the expiration of this ultimatum, the union will embark on a
total, indefinite and comprehensive strike, if its demands are not
met,” the union said.
It said that trade dispute was declared as a result of the non-
implementation of some demands, on which the management and
the union had reached agreements in the past 12 months.
According to the bulletin, the union is disappointed that the Lagos
State Government has insisted on retaining the excessive school
fees in the institution despite the dwindling enrolment figure.
“This policy contradicts the objective of establishing the
institution.
“It is not sustainable and portends great danger to the citizens of
Lagos State who are desirous of tertiary education,” the union said
in the bulletin.
It noted that it was displeased with the continuous use of the “no
vacancy, no promotion policy’’ of the present administration to
stifle career advancement of its members.
According to the bulletin, the partial implementation of the
Universities (Miscellaneous Provisions) (Amendment) Act of 2012
in LASU is an act of inequality.
