The Management of the University of the South Pacific will be meeting with the USP Union this hour, to try and resolve the industrial dispute which resulted in more than 400 members of the USP Union walking off their jobs in the last hour.

The Management has stated that they would like to resolve the matter by this afternoon, so there will be no disruptions tomorrow during the graduation ceremony.

General Secretary, Litiana Waqalevu said they are going on strike because the USP management has not addressed their grievances and this involves the fact that management has dissolved the Media Centre on August 1st this year with no notice in writing given to union members on their future at the USP while there has been no advertising of vacant positions available at the University.
