UNZALARU stick to resolve, no rewrite of 2014/15 exams

The University of Zambia Lecturers and Researchers Union (UNZALARU) has maintained that its members will not release examination results for the 2014/15 academic year until government pays the money it owes them and other workers.

The lecturers are demanding the payment of outstanding allowances, gratuity and benefits for retired employees before releasing the results.

UNZALARU President Euston Chiputa says the lecturers will not release the results as long as there is no clarity on their demands.

Dr Chiputa says government’s delay to settle the arrears is frustrating, stating the money owed to the workers is slowly losing value.

He says all what the lecturers are saying is that the workers be paid their money before they can release the results.
