Gates at UTECH’s Kingston campus locked by administrative, technical and auxiliary staff calling for payment of retroactive monies

Several administrative, technical and auxiliary staff at the University of Technology (U-TECH) have locked the institution’s gate as they continue to press for the payment of their retroactive monies.

The workers had served notice of industrial action, following a breakdown in talks over the Government’s failure to indicate a date for the payments.

The U-TECH’s Administrative Staff Association (UTASA) explained that an update received on Friday provided a date for the implementation of new salaries but to the union’s disappointment, not for retroactive monies.

UTASA’s President Jeanette Grayson said efforts to get an explanation from the Ministries of Education and Finance have not been successful.

This, she explained, has further aggravated the workers.
