Lecturers in public universities in Sierra Leone have initiated an industrial strike set to last until March 8, 2024, as declared by the Academic Staff Association. This action stems from their dissatisfaction with unmet welfare demands.
In a press release from UASA, it was emphasized that despite extensive discussions with university and polytechnic authorities since August of the previous year, the essential requests of the association remain unaddressed. The extended period of inaction on these critical issues has led UASA to announce its course of action.
Previously, a 21-day strike notice was issued on November 18, 2023, with the cessation of work scheduled to begin a day after its expiration.
However, the decision to withhold services was rescinded when the conditions necessary for its suspension couldn’t be met by its deadline on February 29, 2024.
The demands of the lecturers include the payment of severance benefits clearing backlog payments for promoted staff, and implementing revised rent and medical allowances.
