The unions gave the following reasons for the industrial action;<\/p>\n

1. Failure to pay July 2022, Salaries of Staff on time without any communication to staff which is the best Managerial practice of true and fair Leadership.<\/p>\n

2. Failure to widely engage all the relevant Stakeholders (Unions) in what is believed and considered to be an ambush Migration of the Salaries of Staff to the Controller and Accountant General Mechanized Payroll system without any agreed document (MOU) from Controller as\u00a0agreed in previous engagements.<\/p>\n

3. The persistent disregard for prudent administrative procedures that naturally affects unity, transparency, and a peaceful institutional environment to propel the attainment of the UDS Vision and Mission, Staff welfare, and Institutional wellbeing.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
<\/div>\n

4. The penchant of leadership for disrespect and apparent dislike and disinterest in working with Labour Unions to drive the developmental agenda of our Institution, and many more\u00a0administrative and academic practices that put UDS at a very high-risk position.<\/p>\n

The Executive councils of the three unions directed all members to immediately withdraw \u2018completely\u2019\u2019 all services until further notice.<\/p>\n
