The University Teachers Association (UTAG) has served noticed it would read its strike action should the employer fail to address their concerns.
UTAG says although they were asked to call off their industrial action, the employer has failed to address their concerns despite the month for negotiation was over.
A statement issued by UTAG said their key concern is the restoration of the salary of the entry point of a lecturer to the 2012 levels which stood at a cost equivalent of US$2,084.00.
According to them, the amount has been depreciated to less than $997.00 per prevailing exchange rate.
It said the employer had indicated it was no longer interested in negotiating on the interim market premium and non-basic salary allowance rather it was interested in negotiating the research component of the book and research allowances.
UTAG in its view said this is a clear breach of good faith on the employer’s part.
The statement added that UTAG has been overly generous and members are currently not happy.
