The National Education, Health and Allied Workers’ Union [NEHAWU] is inviting the media to cover the NEHAWU National Day of Action which will take place tomorrow [Thursday September 3, 2020] at 12pm across the country. 

The National Day of Action will be in the form of demonstrations which will be directed to the Presidency at the Union Buildings, National Parliament and the nine offices of the Premiers in provinces.

Memorandums clearly explaining our demands will be submitted to government with an ultimatum of five days to respond positively and favourable to our demands. Failure to respond positively will, unfortunately, leave us with no option but to withdraw our labour power in all the sectors that NEHAWU organises as from the 10th September 2020.
