Protest at Polytechnic of Namibia

Employees at the polytechnic, an educational institution in the Namibian capital downed tools in September to protest on Salary increments and housing allowances which was subsequently turned down by the institutions management. The employees decided not to resume duties until the institutional management responds and that all their demands are fulfilled. They protested, confirming their seriousness with writing on posters that, "No Increment, Polytechnic close Permanently".

Loud and Clear

The employees indicated the following messages on their posters as they protested:

• "No Increment, Polytechnic close Permanently"
  • "Mansions for management while we live in shacks"
    • "Polytechnic has become Tjama's personal property"
      • "we want more money, we want more money"

Effect on students

This subsequently affected the students negatively since the library had to be closed as well as the dinning hall, which forced student to boycott scheduled tests and find other means to acquire daily meals.

Resolution

The Polytechnic Management finally came to its knees to end a 3-day strike at the institution, after signing an agreement with the Namibia Public Workers Union (NAPWU). They agreed to give a 10 percent salary increment and a 3o percent housing allowance to all Polytechnic employees including the Polytechnic Academic staff.
