The
Academic Staff Union of Polytechnics at the Federal Polytechnic, Ede,
has begun a ‘sit in’ industrial action to protest the non-implementation
of Consolidated Tertiary Institution Salary Structure for its members
in the institution.
The
Chairman of ASUP, Osun State, Mr. Adeyemi Komolafe, and the Vice
Chairman of the union, Mr. Kayode Azeez, said this in separate
interviews with our correspondent in Osogbo on Wednesday.
According
to the union leaders, during the ‘sit in’ strike, lecturers go to
school but they do not teach the students. He explained that the
strategy was adopted to prompt the implementation of the salary scale.
The ASUP chairman said the union held an emergency congress and started the strike since Monday.
Komolafe
said that the case had been reported to the national executive of the
ASUP and they had given their support to the local chapter.
The
vice chairman said lecturers in the school would continue to go to
school but would not teach until their demands on the implementation of
CONTISS 15 were met.
He said,
“The union (ASUP Ede) had an emergency where it was resolved that
lecturers should embark on a ‘sit in’ industrial action over non-payment
of arrears of shortfall in the January and February salaries which was
occasioned by no inclusion of CONTISS 15.”
