JUBA, 18 November 2011 [Gurtong] – The University of Juba Academic Staff Association declared the strike on Thursday, saying their patience had run out after staying for several months without pay.
A letter addressed to all the campus staff referenced “Open Strike”, expressed that; “Despite the fact that payments of our salaries for August and September 2011 was delayed for almost three months, you have been diligently carrying out your duties and responsibilities. Nonetheless, this attitude was not appreciated by the authorities in charge of the university. Instead of receiving payment for the arrears of July and salary of October by the end of October, in accordance with the directives of the Ministry of Finance, we have not received any payment to date”, states the letter.
