“From the lawsuits, it was once discoverable that NASU and SSANU had been most effective invited as mere spectators to offer a semblance of legitimacy and acceptability to an already concluded renegotiation workout.
“That the President of ASUU unloved was once invited to offer a reaction in the name of alternative unions with out session and he ended up talking in the name of his union obviously confirmed that the reviews and reports of alternative unions don’t topic within the renegotiation.
“The proceedings of the entire inauguration have clearly shown the imbalance of relationships and the obvious unfair treatment that would be meted out to NASU and SSANU if the renegotiation process continues in this manner.”
“Consequently, the JAC of NASU and SSANU hereby condemns the entire charade that took place today, in the name of an inauguration, as it signals a potential bias in favour of academic staff in the upcoming negotiations, to the detriment of non-teaching staff and therefore expresses our misgivings about the process of the inauguration,” it learn.
