LASPOTECH Workers Begin Indefinite Strike
The Lagos State Polytechnic (LASPOTECH) workers have embarked on an indefinite strike, shutting down academic activities at the institution. The strike, which began on [date], was called by the Joint Action Committee (JAC) of the workers, comprising the Academic Staff Union of Polytechnics (ASUP), Senior Staff Association of Nigerian Polytechnics (SSANIP), and the Non-Academic Staff Union of Educational and Associated Institutions (NASU).
The workers are demanding improved working conditions, better salaries, and the implementation of the National Minimum Wage Act. They are also seeking the resolution of outstanding issues, including the non-payment of salaries and allowances, and the non-provision of adequate infrastructure and facilities.
According to the JAC, the strike was necessitated by the failure of the management of LASPOTECH to address their grievances despite several appeals and negotiations. The workers have been complaining about poor working conditions, inadequate funding, and the lack of transparency in the management of the institution's resources.
The strike has disrupted academic activities at the institution, with students and lecturers alike affected. The students have been asked to vacate the campus, while the lecturers have been directed to stay away from work until further notice.
The management of LASPOTECH has been urged to engage with the workers and address their demands in order to resolve the crisis and restore normalcy to the institution. The state government has also been called upon to intervene and ensure that the strike is resolved amicably.
The indefinite strike by LASPOTECH workers is a major setback for the institution, which is already facing challenges in terms of funding and infrastructure. The strike is likely to have a significant impact on the academic calendar and the overall development of the institution.
