President of the University of Technology Academic Staff Union (UTASU), Dr. Clavery Allen, said he hopes that by the end of the week, a compensation review proposal will be finalized for the staff.

This, as a meeting is expected to be held with the finance ministry this week.

The academic staff at the institution took industrial action, over the delays in settling the compensation review proposal.

Lecturers are reportedly withholding students’ grades.

Speaking with Irie Fm News on Wednesday morning, Dr. Allen shared that the request for Utech’s engagement in the review was made from May 2022.

Meantime, while the lecturers await the meeting , Dr Allen says they are continuing to undertake other activities.
