UKZN staff and students strike against management

by CCS SA IMC 8/2/06

DURBAN, 8 FEBRUARY 2006 - On the third day of their strike two thousand University of KwaZulu-Natal staff marched on campus today in defiance of management's ban on mass action. All four unions at UKZN (COMSA, NEHAWU, NTESU and UNSU) had called for Wednesday to be a day of stay-aways and marches at UKZN's Westville Campus and the large turnout proves the strength of the UKZN strike, which has been ongoing since Monday and has, according to unions, severely impacted on registration of students at the university.

Staff at UKZN are on strike because the 2006 wage negotiations deadlocked when management only offered a 4% annual increase. In addition, unions accuse UKZN management of an "increasingly authoritarian style of management" and accuse them of "erod[ing] academic freedom".

The Racist Bastards?
by Ana 9/2/06

Bastards making Melbourne more of a police state and quashing and protest and resistance to the white imperial bullshit country is founded. I suppose that genocide, the destruction of indigenous culture and the theft of land and resources does not make for "good pr". Make a stand and get out on the streets with the people of the land during the Stolenwealth Games. Our family are definitely out there supporting our brothers and sister...Go!!! the Black GST
