EWN reports that National Education Health and Allied Workers' Union (Nehawu) members employed by Parliament are expected to return to work after going on strike on Wednesday in a show of solidarity with their suspended colleagues.
The union's parliamentary branch chairperson, Sthembiso Tembe, and a colleague were suspended for their alleged role in disrupting staff meetings called by Secretary to Parliament Gengezi Mgidlana last week. Staff will return to their posts to allow Nehawu's national office bearers time to intervene in the impasse. The union's Western Cape Secretary, Eric Kweleta, indicated that a meeting was scheduled for next Tuesday. The union and Mgidlana are at loggerheads over outstanding issues related to a strike last year.
