BDLive reports that the National Education Health and Allied Workers’ Union (Nehawu) has upped the stakes in its members’ impasse with the Secretary of Parliament Gengezi Mgidlana by resolving to call on Public Protector Thuli Madonsela to investigate him.
Office bearers told media during a briefing in Cape Town on Monday that Mgidlana had not taken the union’s demands in Parliament seriously, and that he left them no choice but to make Parliament ungovernable. Provincial secretary Eric Kweleta said that following a breakdown in consultation, the union would begin planning rolling mass action, which would include daily marches to Parliament. The union started lunch time pickets last week. Nehawu and the management of Parliament have been at loggerheads over Parliament’s failure to implement an agreement signed in December, following a strike which saw Nehawu bring the work of portfolio committees in Parliament to a standstill.
