Ingathi sibhatalwa ngokwebala lethu apha” itsho iNEHAWU kwiYunivesithi iRhodes
“IYunivesithi yethu yenye yeeyunivesithi ezinkqenkqeza phambili kweli lizwe kodwa thina sibhatalwa eyona mali yakhe yancinci,” eli lilizwi elikhutshwe ngabasebenzi beYunivesithi iRhodes ngelixa beqhankqalazela ukunyuselwa imivuzo nge-25 kuTshazimpuzi.
Imibutho yabasebenzi kule Yunivesithi, iNational Education Health & Allied Workers’ Union (Nehawu) neNational Tertiary Education Union (NTEU) inikezele ngee-memorandum kumncedisi wesekela-ngqonyela weYunivesithi iRhodes, uPeter Clayton ngentsimbi yeshumi elinanye kusasa.
Izinyanzeliso zabasebenzi eziqulathwe kwezi memorandum, nekulindeleke ukuba ziphendulwe kwezi ntsuku zisixhenxe zizayo, ziquka ukunyuselwa kwemivuzo yabo bonke abasebenzi ngo7.5%, ukusekwa kwamaqumrhu azokujongana nophuhliso lwezakhono zabasebenzi, ukunikezwa kwenkxasomali yokufunda engu-100% kubasebenzi abanqwenela ukufunda kweli ziko kwakunye nabantwana babo nokunqunyanyiswa kuka-Iain L’Ange oyi-Executive Director – Infrastructure, Finance & Operations Division kweli ziko.
iNehawu ithi abasebenzi baseRhodes bacinezelekile nangona kungabo abaqinisekisa ukuba eli ziko lihlala licocekile yaye lisebenza ngendlela eyiyo.
Lo mbutho uthi iziphathamandla zeYunivesithi iRhodes kufuneka zilithathele ingqalelo igalelo nokuzinikezela kwabasebenzi kweli ziko.
Kwiintlanganiso zangaphambili phakathi kweYunivesithi iRhodes nemibutho yabasebenzi, eli ziko likhan- kanye ukuba alinamali yaye lilungele ukuwunyusa ngo5% kuphela umvuzo wabasebenzi.
Abasebenzi abayamkelanga kwaphela loo nto besithi amaxabiso okutya, intlawulo yokufunda nezinye izinto zinyukile, yaye kufuneka nemivuzo yabo inyuselwe ukuthi bakwazi ukuziphilisa.
