The University’s Academic Staff Union (UASU) has given notice of a strike over refusal by the government to honour a past Collective Bargaining Agreement (CBA).

This will be the third industrial strike in a year and the scale of disruption of the academic calendar in an election year will be difficult to recover. That notwithstanding, the government is clearly dodging responsibility.
