UNIVERSITY OF KWAZULU-NATAL STAFF UNION (UKSU)
Advancing and defending the interest of UKZN staff
The objective of this site is to facilitate communication between the University of KwaZulu-Natal Staff Union (UKSU) and its members as well as the staff of the university; it is a source of information for the membership and staff in general.
Are you a member if a union? Is your union really looking after your interest?
If not, consider joining the largest union at UKZN.
UKSU is by far the largest and leading Union at the University of KwaZulu-Natal (UKZN), and continues to grow daily. From 2012 to present, its membership has grown by >275%.
In December 2021, a new Recognition Agreement (RA) was entered into between management and three unions acting jointly: NEHAWU, NTEU and UKSU. Based on this RA, the following is the representation making up the collective requirement of >50%+1. More on the RA and representation can be found on the Recognition Agreement page.
The graph below shows the representation of the three unions and shows UKSU at 47%, and the only union with double figures. The large proportion of unionised staff is noted with interest.
UKSU represents staff at all levels from both the academic and professional sectors. It represents permanent, contract and externally funded staff.
This website is available to keep readers informed of developments, as it pertains to their employment and membership.
