Makerere University staff have initiated industrial action to protest the institution’s failure to harmonize their salaries with those of staff at other public universities.
The strike, spearheaded by the Joint Staff Associations—which includes the Makerere University Academic Staff Association, the Makerere Administrative Staff Association, and the National Union of Education Institutions, was formally declared to begin with immediate effect according to a letter dated October 7, 2024, addressed to University Council Chairperson, Lorna Magara.
It cited the university management’s failure to fulfill its commitment to harmonize staff salaries by September 2024, a promise made two months prior. END
