= NEHAWU STRIKE AT THE UNIVERSITY OF LIMOPO =

The process of learning and teaching at the University of Limpopo has come to a complete halt due to a strike by our members. Nehawu constitute more than 75% of the non-academic  staff and 50% of the academic staff.. The

DEMANDS
We demand 12% salary increment, a process to review the current benefits like housing medical and travel allowances. The benefits and salaries were last increased in 1996. Management is offering only 7%, without any commitment to review the working conditions and benefits.

STRIKE
Nehawu is ready for mediation to be facilitated by CCMA as a way to resolve the impasse,  but as things stand, we are continuing with the strike. Our strike enjoys support from all stakeholders on campus, student organisations, academics and the SRC itself.

Unless management makes real move and new proposal it looks like we are going on a long protracted strike action.
