TEWU THREATENS TO STRIKE ON MONDAY _________________________________________________________ The Teachers and Education Workers Union (TEWU) in all 6 public Universities across the country are threatening to embark on an indefinite strike on Monday. According to TEWU, the Fair Wages and Salaries Commission have failed to address discrepancies in their salaries following their migration onto the Single Spine Salary Structure. In a statement TEWU said it "has come to the realization that issues that we have brought before Fair Wages and Salaries Commission have never been given fullest attention.” Speaking to Citi News the Chairman of the Committee of the Universities local union executives of TEWU, Charles Arthur said their position will not change until their grievances are addressed. He said they want a review of the pay policy to correct the disparities and distortions in the grading structure of unionized employees of the public universities. ”We started this issue since 4th February 2012, we have copies of all issues that we sent to fair wages and nothing has been done by the committee of Vice Chancellors, nothing has been done by the Fair Wages itself; and we have even complained to Labour Commission, nothing has also been done by the Labour Commission,’’ he added. “So we decided to withdraw our services, maybe they will listen to us after we have withdrawn our services; it is absolutely difficult to get them to look at our issues…’’ Mr Arthur said efforts to get the various stakeholders have proved futile, hence their action.
