TimesLIVE reports that the strike by National Education, Health and Allied Workers’ Union (Nehawu) members at the Independent Communications Authority of SA (Icasa) entered its fourth day on Monday when members presented a memorandum of demands to management.
Icasa CEO Tshiamo Maluleka-Disemelo received the memorandum at the organisation’s head office in Centurion. Some 85 of Nehawu’s 200 members were among the protesters who handed over the memorandum. Nehawu members went on strike last Wednesday after negotiations for the 2023/2024 salary increases collapsed and Icasa unilaterally implemented a 4.4% increase. Nehawu spokesperson at its Icasa branch, Kabelo Thelele, indicated that the union was demanding 8% across the board. When the strike began, Icasa said its head office and regional offices would remain open for business despite the strike.
