Lecturer's union officials.[Photo/citizen]University Academic Staff Union (Uasu) has called on public universities to finalise negotiations of the stalled 2017/2021 Collective Bargaining Agreement (CBA).
UASU secretary general Constantine Wasonga said the agreement was expected to resolve pay disputes over the years.
“The launch of the 2017/2021 CBA through collective bargaining shall help find solutions to the problems that have been affecting the universities over years,” said Dr Wasonga.
Wesonga stated that the CBA was expected to begin on July 1, last year.
Uasu and Inter-Public Universities Council Consultative Forum (IPUCCF) agreed to start negotiations on December 18, last year, that was to be concluded by January 31.
“Delay in beginning negotiations on the 2017/2021 CBA means that benefits are already accruing though the fault lies with the IPUCCF that was not ready for the start of the process,” he said.
