Lecturers at the University of the West Indies (UWI) in Trinidad, stationed at the St. Augustine campus, are threatening to withhold grades and exam papers.
Their unwavering stance comes in response to the ongoing impasse in wage negotiations with Dr. Nyan Gadsby-Dolly, the Minister of Education.
Demanding more than a two per cent offer
Led by Dr. Indira Rampersad, President of the West Indies Group of University Teachers, these educators initiated protests last week, citing dissatisfaction with the government's proposal of a mere two percent wage increase.
Continued demonstrations for clarity
They continued their protest this week, seeking an update from campus principal Professor Rose-Marie Belle Antoine on the state of negotiations.
