More than 400 staff of the Fiji Institute of Technology will walk off jobs tomorrow morning over the non-payment of their Cost of Living Adjustment or COLA.
Radio Fiji reports that the staff are members of the Fiji Teachers Union, the Fiji Public Service Association and the Public Employees Union.
The Public Service Association industrial officer, Noel Tofinga, says their grievance is over the 2004 log of claims and the failure of the FIT management to negotiate and resolve the matter.
Mr Tofinga says the claims are very similar to those made by public servants which the government has agreed to honour as handed down in an arbitration ruling known as the Callanchini Award.
The striking staff plan to picket all FIT campuses in Suva, Nadi, Ba and Labasa tomorrow.
