ANA reports that the National Education Health and Allied Workers’ Union (Nehawu) on Thursday accused top executives of the National Youth Development Agency (NYDA) of corruption.
It said that newly-elected board members had unilaterally increased their salaries without following due process. According to the union, NYDA chairperson Sfiso Mtsweni and deputy chairperson Bavelile Hlongwa increased the salaries for their offices with effect from 1 January 2018 without consulting the union members for a clear mandate and way forward. The union’s branch executive committee said it viewed the actions by the employer as illegal and discriminatory since a number of employees had been denied bursaries for this academic year due to lack of funds. Nehawu has demanded to be allowed to make a presentation at the human resources and remuneration committee meeting scheduled for Tuesday and has also called for an urgent bargaining forum to convene to resolve the matter. Failing that, the union would roll out mass action beginning with a picket on Wednesday and a strike action.
