Unity College Staff Defy Government Resumption Order, Strike Continues

Federal Unity College teachers nationwide refused a federal directive to resume classes, extending an indefinite strike that began over the concession of King’s College. The strike, now in its second week, has left all Unity College campuses closed and students without regular instruction. Staff insist that the concession issue remains unresolved, and they will not return to work until the government addresses their demands. The government’s resumption order, issued last week, was ignored by the teachers’ union, which has called for a negotiated settlement. With schools shut, parents and local communities are scrambling for alternative arrangements, while the Ministry of Education faces mounting pressure to mediate the dispute. The strike’s persistence signals a deepening impasse between educators and the federal government.
