b) Unions Mr M Seeketsa: Site Chairperson SADTU led the presentation which highlighted the following key issues: . Workers of the college had been oppressed by the management of the college since 2006. Worker's grievances were not properly addressed and there was no formal labour forum where labour disputes were addressed in the college. . Nepotism in appointment of certain staff members remained a serious concern. Irregular recruitment processes were followed in appointment of certain staff (some senior lecturers were not qualified for their jobs). . Tenders were awarded to the same companies and majority of them were white owned. Local people and businesses were not given preference in awarding of tenders or recruitment of staff. . The college did not allocate adequate time to unions to recruit members and discuss labour issues. . Unions were not invited during interviews of new employees. There was a need for review of lecturers' qualifications as some lecturers were misplaced. Abnormal working hours of lectures remained a concern.
