The MUT on Monday issued what it said was the first set of directives for lecturing grades at the UM Junior College.
The directives follow the declaration of a trade dispute in November 2025 and the failure in reaching an agreement with the Government on a satisfactory updated collective agreement, which expired in December 2023, the MUT said.
The MUT directed all UM Junior College lecturing grades to:
- Refrain from participating in committee meetings
- Refrain from participating in boards including the Junior College board
- Refrain from participating in departmental meetings
- Refrain from carrying out any duties related to committees, boards or departments
- Refrain from submitting attendance records
- Refrain from submitting assessment results/marks
The directives come into force on Wednesday 15 April 2026. The MUT said it will support all lecturing grades who follow industrial action
