The Federal Government has invoked
the ‘no work, no pay’ labour rule against
striking university lecturers as their
industrial action enters the 93rd day
with no end in sight.
Some of the federal university vice
chancellors have not paid the Academic
Staff Union of Universities (ASUU)
members their August and September
salaries in compliance with the
government’s directive.
Some branch chairmen of ASUU see the
government and vice chancellor’s move
as an attempt to break the rank of their
members, insisting that their members
are resolute on the ongoing strike.
Some ASUU branch chairmen told Daily
Sun that text messages were sent to vice
chancellors to apply the ‘no work, no
pay’ labour rules to academic staff on
strike and that the decision had affected
the payment of salary of non-academic
staff in the university system.
According to one of the branch
chairmen, he and his exco confronted
their university management over the
salary delay and the he showed them
the text message asking them not to pay
salary to ASUU members.
He stressed that the ‘no work, no pay’
labour rule had never worked, pointing
out that ASUU has a counter-measure,
which was ‘no pay, no work,’ and that
the union was not on strike because of
salary increment.
