The Roodepoort campus was affected on Thursday. Protesters on Tuesday disrupted the graduation ceremony at the institution, causing graduations to be suspended. “The protest will continue until we receive feedback. We have been trying to deal with it for almost six months ... Members this time decided they will picket until they receive feedback from management and hope they are going to get a positive response,” said Nehawu Unisa branch secretary Tshembani Valoyi.
The union wants the university to honour a collective agreement signed in January to pay members 3% and 7% on different grades.“Second, there is the issue of Sunday payment for security staff that was stopped illegally by the university in 2012. From 2012 to today, security have not been paid properly when they work on Sunday.
