ASUU Resumes Strike at UNICROSS After 104-Day Suspension

The ASUU chapter at the University of Cross River State (UNICROSS) resumed its strike on Monday, accusing the government of failing to honour agreements that led to the suspension of the action on July 21, 2026. Chapter chairman Dr Patrick Ushie said implementation deadlines had been missed and the government had not responded to the union’s notices. ASUU said it would not suspend the strike again until its grievances were addressed. Its demands include improved salary and welfare benefits, payment of outstanding wages and union dues, and increased university funding.

German unions launch wave of strikes over cost-of-living pressures

IG Metall, Germany’s largest union, launched strikes on Monday in the metal and electrical engineering industries, where a wage dispute affects about 3.7 million employees. The union is seeking a 5 percent pay rise, protections for jobs and production sites, and profit-sharing in strong-performing sectors. It rejected employers’ offer of a one-off payment equivalent to 1 percent of pay in July 2027 and a 1.3 percent increase from July 2028, saying the proposal would cut wages in real terms. Strikes are expected to continue throughout the week amid cost-of-living protests in several European countries.
