BDLive reports that Nehawu has welcomed Higher Education Minister Blade Nzimande’s attempts to end a nine-week strike by hundreds of University of Zululand (UniZulu) workers.
National Education Health and Allied Workers Union (Nehawu) members at the university embarked on the strike on 18 August, demanding a wage increase, pay progression, insourcing and the conversion of temporary staff to permanent employment. Nzimande on Friday met a delegation from Nehawu and the members told him what they thought could bring the strike to an end. Nzimande said on Saturday he had persuaded the union and the university to agree to the appointment of a six-member team to hold urgent marathon negotiations to end the strike.
