Pretoria - The Sefako Makgatho Health Sciences University (SMU) is facing losing even more time off their academic calendar as strike action by workers affiliated to the National Education Health and Allied Workers Union (Nehawu) continues for a second week.
The university management and Nehawu reached a deadlock last week over salary increases which they have allegedly been negotiating since February.
Tshifhiwa Mulaudzi, chairperson of the Nehawu university branch, said workers were prepared to continue with the strike action for as long as it was necessary for the university management to start taking workers demands and needs seriously.
