“There was a serious commitment from the part of the management to address the demands of the association.
“The management had pledged to stop percentage salary payments to our members, which is one of the association’s grievances,” he noted.
The Vice President said the meeting had also taken measures to curtail further industrial disharmony between the association and ABUTH management.
Recall that the association had embarked on a 5-day warning strike on Monday to protest against percentage salary payments for members on the GIFMIS platform and non-payment of accoutrement allowance among others.
