ANA reports that the insourcing process at the University of Johannesburg (UJ) has been successfully concluded and the last cohort of 640 cleaning staff became new UJ employees as they commenced work on Saturday.
Since the process started in 2015, the university has accelerated the insourcing of outsourced workers, with improved working conditions and benefits extended to their children, UJ said in a statement on Sunday. “The university unequivocally supported the quest to provide decent working conditions, fair wages, and improved benefits for these outsourced workers. This is evident with the insourcing of gardening and grounds, security services, and cleaning services which were traditionally delivered as outsourced services,” UJ deputy vice chancellor Tumi Mketi said. She went on to state: “The university set a target to finalise the insourcing of all concerned workers by the end of June 2017 and we are proud that this deadline was achieved and concluded two months ahead of time.”
