In view of the above, I, on behalf of the Branch Executive Committee of SSANU-AAUA hereby direct every member of SSANU-AAUA to embark on 2 weeks Warning Strike as directed by our National Leadership with effect from today, Monday, 28th March, 2022 until otherwise directed, please.
It is to be noted that no member of SSANU-AAUA should attend to official assignment during this period of Warning Strike, please.
Any member of our Union who does any official assignment during this period shall be regarded as a saboteur and shall be treated as such. No concession in any form is granted to SSANU members to engage in any official assignment, please.
