[Muanet] Article and photos on the strike at University of KwaZulu-Natal in South Africa

Dear Members

Below are links to reports and photos on the strike at the Westville
Campus of the University of KwaZulu-Nata (UKZN) in South Africa. 

Staff at UKZN are on strike because the 2006 wage negotiations
deadlocked when management only offered a 4% annual increase. In
addition, unions accuse UKZN management of an "increasingly
authoritarian style of management" and accuse them of "erod[ing]
academic freedom".
