After the OTS and the TCT teacher’s strike, University lecturers have announced plans to strike over unpaid dues. This was revealed by SYNES (Lecturers syndicate) in a recent release. The syndicate revealed that varsity lecturers had sent to the state two prior letters reminding them of the need to fulfill their conditions.

University teachers are not the only ones threatening a strike action. Transport syndicates have also drawn government’s attention to similar action. They have presented a series of grievances and given government till March 28 to provide solutions.


Government has threatened to act against Equinoxe TV, following a broadcast of popular talk show, Droit de reponse.
