ANA reports that staff at the Durban University of Technology (DUT) on Tuesday continued their wage strike, after failing to reach an agreement with management.
DUT spokesperson, Noxolo Memela indicated in a statement: “After a meeting between the management of the Durban University of Technology and the three labour unions [National Education Health and Allied Workers’ Union (Nehawu), Tertiary Education National Union of SA (Tenusa) and National Tertiary Education Union (NTEU)] on Tuesday, 23 January 2017, sadly no agreement was reached between both parties.” She added that despite the deadlock, DUT remained committed to continuously engaging with labour representatives in order to reach an amicable solution to the staff strike. Apparently at Tuesday’s meeting, DUT management offered a ‘without prejudice’ offer of 6% on basic salary and 6% on the housing allowance valid for the course of the meeting. Apparently, the representatives of the three unions then walked out of the meeting without committing to any other further engagement.
