The sample consisted of 281 academic staff, 166 non-academic and 14 students’ union Executive members. The multi-stage stratified sampling technique was utilized in selection of subjects for the study. A questionnaire titled Trade Union Disputes in Nigeria University Questionnaire” (TUDNUQ) was designed to elicit information from respondents-Data obtained were analyzed statistically using Z test and F-Radio test (ANOVA), percentages and standard deviation. From the analysis of data it was found that poor conditions of service and remuneration, under-funding of the University system, poor communication between management and unions, autocratic leadership styles of some university administrators, nonparticipation of union in university decision making process and government intervention in universities’ internal management were the major factors associated with trade union disputes in Nigerian universities.
