General strike at Universities throughout West Bank

General strike at Universities throughout West Bank

Palestinian universities closed doors on Wednesday and Thursday protesting against neglecting their employees’ demands by Fayyad’s government.

Dr. Amjad Barham President of Palestinian Federation of Unions of University Professors and Employees said, in press statements, that the strike will continue in all West Bank universities, threatening to escalate it during the next week in protest at the policy of Salam Fayyad’s government in dealing with the Union’s demands.

Fayyad’s government failed until the moment in meeting the demands of the Union, Barham added, pointing out to the further escalation of the situation.

The state Universities’ employees protested on Tuesday outside PA headquarters, where they handed over a letter to Salam Fayyad containing the employees’ demands.
