The strike is being called by UTAG in response to the government’s refusal to address the poor working conditions of academics.

UTAG stated in a statement dated January 8 that the administration had failed to meet agreed-upon deadlines to resolve their issues.

The leadership of the lecturers union “reiterated its resolve to follow through with the decision to withdraw teaching and related activities until further notice.”

“Generally, our members have decried the pittance agreed to be paid as annual research allowance and would want to have government reconsider the payment of a more realistic research allowance as this is critical to our research output, promotion and ultimately national development,” in the press release.

Following the strike, the government and UTAG signed a Memorandum of Agreement, which was spotted by Athleticshour.com following the meeting, stating that “both parties agree that there is a need to return back to the negotiating table from the week beginning Monday, August 23rd, 2021.”
