The education sector of Taraba State is grappling with the threat of a major industrial crisis as workers across five government-owned tertiary institutions consider an indefinite strike. The Joint Action Committee of Tertiary Institutions in Taraba State (JACTI), led by Chairman Comrade Misa N. Gaji and Secretary Comrade Abdulkarim Z. Dangana, has warned that negotiations with the state government over outstanding demands have been unsuccessful for over four months.
The committee claims the government has not implemented a report on the issue for more than two weeks. Among the issues cited are deductions from workers' salaries for identity cards and APER forms, failure to provide health insurance scheme notifications, non-implementation of annual increments and step movements, withholding of union dues, and failure to provide the N70,000 transport relief for public servants.
If the government fails to address these concerns before the end of the two-week warning strike slated to begin at midnight on Wednesday, JACTI representatives have threatened to escalate the dispute to an indefinite strike as mandated by labor laws.
