The Federation of University Teachers’ Association stated that if they do not receive a positive response regarding their salaries, the university lecturers will go on a continuous strike from the 10th of September.
The Chairman of the Federation Prof. Rohan Fernando mentioned this holding a press conference, yesterday (26).
They say that although the government, in 2016, promised of the 107 percent increase in the salaries of university lecturers, it still has not been fulfilled.
