The Teachers and Educational Workers Union (TEWU) of the Trades Union Congress (TUC) has called off its strike.

This was contained in a statement issued on Monday, January 18, 2020.

The government and the Fair Wages and Salaries Commission intervened to resolve the issues.

“We, therefore, call on members on the various University campuses to resume work tomorrow, 19th January 2021, whiles leadership continues to engage with Government for the implementation of the agreement”, the statement concluded.
