In our university, the aunties who tirelessly clean and maintain our student residence are more than just cleaning staff to us. They are part of our daily lives, always greeting us with smiles, and caring for the spaces we live in. Many of them have become extended family to the students here.

Recently, these dedicated workers are facing an unjust situation; many are being terminated without any reasonable cause. This decision was made abruptly and without any communication or due consideration for their commitment and hard work. These aunties, who have been loyal and have served our community with integrity, do not deserve to be treated in such a dismissive manner.

The effects of this decision cast wide-reaching implications. These jobs provide vital support for the aunties and their families. Losing this employment not only disrupts their livelihoods but also affects their ability to provide for their families who rely on their income for basic needs and education.

We can and must act to reverse these unfair firings. We call on the university administration to transparently review this decision, to communicate effectively with those affected, and to reinstate the positions of the workers who have been unjustly fired. Moreover, we demand that the university establishes clearer communication protocols and fair employment practices to ensure this does not happen again in the future.

Let us stand in solidarity with those who support us daily and whose dedication makes our residence feel like a home. By signing this petition, you are advocating for fair treatment and justice for these crucial members of our community. Sign now to bring this issue to the attention of the university administration and help reinstate the jobs of the cleaning staff we value and cherish.
