Senior Staff Association at the University for Development Studies (UDS) has declared an indefinite industrial action commencing on August 26, 2024.
This move is in response to the administration’s failure to address critical safety and security issues impacting staff members.
The decision follows numerous unresolved petitions and demands from the Executive Council of the Senior Staff Association.
The union has been urgently requesting action on threats against the life of a colleague, Mr. Issah Adam Jafar, which have instilled widespread fear and uncertainty among staff.
Having exhausted all peaceful avenues for resolution, the Senior Staff Association feels compelled to take significant action to safeguard the rights and interests of its members.
The union’s demands include:
1.Immediate investigation of the incident and accountability for those responsible.
2.A ssurance of the safety and security of all staff members.
3.Implementation of preventive measures to avoid similar incidents in the future.
4.Provision of a safe and conducive working environment for all staff members.
5.The association is confident that this industrial action will prompt a resolution and restore peace and stability within the institution.
They call on all relevant parties to acknowledge the validity of their stance and back their efforts to create a safe and secure working environment at UDS.
