The statement read, “You will recall that at our congress meeting of October 4, 2022, members resolved to sit or work from home in view of the half salary paid to our members for the month of October, which cannot take them to their places of work, having stayed for more than eight months without salary in as much as they really want to work.

“Our branch resolution, of course, was subject to the final decision of our national body”

However, after receiving briefing at our National Executive Council of October 7, 2022, our members resolved to vacate the sit-at-home decision while also reaffirming our commitment in the ability of our principal officers to handle the matter appropriately.

“This implies that our members are fully back to work on campus”
