BETHLEHEM (Ma'an) -- Staff of Al-Quds University in Abu Dis will strike on Monday in protest over the university's failure to pay outstanding wages, the union said Sunday.

Head of the union Abdullah Najajira said the university still owed staff 30 percent of January salaries and had reneged on an agreement to pay the overdue wages by Sunday.

The university employs around 1,200 staff who will go to campus on Monday but will not work, Najajira told Ma'an.
