Following pressure by KSU’s announcement of a University student rally on campus today, the UĦM directives were lifted and exams announced to be going as planned.
As such, KSU cancelled the lecture walk-out rally, with an official statement saying that pressure for the conclusion of the collective agreement is set to continue.
‘While this development is a cause for celebration among students, KSU wishes to express its profound appreciation for UĦM’s unwavering commitment to defending worker’s rights’, the student organisation wrote.
KSU extended their wholehearted support to UĦM in its ongoing endeavours to negotiate a better collective agreement.
‘Nonetheless, we must express our deep disappointment with the government’s negligence regarding workers’ rights over the past two years, a neglect that has compelled the union to take such measures, inadvertently impacting students.’
‘Did the situation need to get to this point to get to this stage of the negotiations’, KSU concluded.
