UB unions get 8% salary hike

On Tuesday this week, UBASSU and UBSU together with the UB management signed on the dotted line for the salary increment of eight percent across all bands. “All the undersigned parties have jointly agreed that management shall implement a salary adjustment for members of UBASSU and UBSU. Management shall implement an 8% salary adjustment to all UBASSU and UBSU,” acting vice chancellor David Katzke said. The salary increment for the two unions is said to be effective from April 1, 2023.

Katzke elucidated that the increment is only valid for two financial years. “This agreement constitutes a full and a final settlement of the entire dispute on salaries adjustment as filed, or as being under negotiation by the parties in respect of the financial periods 2022/2023 and 2023/2024,” Katzke added.
