More woes for ASUU as court delivers judgement
The National Industrial Court has upheld the ‘no work no pay’ policy by the FG in the suit filed against the ASUU.
The court, presided over by President Justice Benedict Kanyip, declared that the FG’s application of the “no work, no pay” rule against ASUU members who participated in last year’s strike is entirely legal.
The court held that it is within the right of the Federal Government to withhold salaries of workers who embark on industrial action, Channels Television reports.
The court however held that it is a violation of University Autonomy for the Federal Government to impose the Integrated Payroll & Personnel Information System (IPPIS) platform on members of ASUU who reserve the right to determine how their salaries should be paid.
The FG had dragged ASUU before the National Industrial Court over the demand of the Union for the payment of their salaries from February 14 to October 7, 2022 when the strike was called off.
