CONUA Demands Payment of Outstanding Salaries, Remunerations
The Congress of University Academics (CONUA) has actually asked the Federal Government to instantly start payment of members’ kept three-and-a-half-month incomes, along with compensations of members, which the union stated had actually stayed stagnant regardless of increasing inflation.
In a press declaration released on Thursday, CONUA President, ‘Niyi Sunmonu, while valuing the federal government for paying 4 months’ incomes out of the 7 and a half months in which the Academic Staff Union of Universities was on strike, prompted the federal government to pay the remainder of the impressive incomes, clarifying that the union did not take part in the strike action.
The declaration partially checked out “The Union wants to communicate its gratitude to the Federal Government for effecting the payment of 4 months out of the 7 and a half kept incomes of academics in federal universities as an outcome of strike action launched by members of the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU).
“Our union, CONUA, has actually regularly kept that it never ever stated and was not part of any strike action. What the federal government had actually done was to swelling together those who started strike with those who did not!
“This will offer the impression that the Federal Government does dislike other procedures aside from strike to pursue the needs of academics! This protests the judgment provided on 25th July 2023 at the National Industrial Court of Nigeria (NICN), which verified CONUA as an independent Union.”
It included that because CONUA neither required nor signed up with any strike, keeping the three-and-a-half months’ wages of members of the union contravenes Section 43 (1b) of the Trade Disputes Act CAP. T8, which mentions that “where any company locks out his employees, the employees will be entitled to incomes and any other appropriate reimbursements for the duration of the lock-out and the duration of the lock-out will not prejudicially impact any rights of the employees being rights based on the connection of the duration of work.”
