lecturers and the government play havoc with our life. If FUTA protests for save free education in srilanka, why they ask funny demands??
FUTA is still adamant, and ruins our time, and life.
FUTA and SB deliberatly spoil our life.

The uneducated and uncultured thugs do not know what is the meaning of Negotiation, respect for others views or the amicable solution to any urgent issue that people have appointed them.

FUTA survives with NGO money. There is a clear political agenda behind this longest strike in the world by academics. Innocent FUTA members have been taken for a ride. Dear Members , follow the members in medical faculties and start teaching your own students. Let FUTA leaders thrives on NGO money.

Saman may not know about great academics. Most of professors in Sri Lankan universities are fake professors. Some of professors does not have PhD. Most of lectueres do not have reputed journal publications such as ISI or Scopus. These fake professors don't allow to recuit PhD-holders with research publications. They give first class BSc, BA to students who can be controled by themself and recruit to the universities. Most universities has family tree of staff members. FUTA supports such a professors. These all fake professors shold be quit.

FUTA is made of member unions. Joining a member union is somewhat like joining a political party. The application form does not ask whether you are a ......
