DUTTimesLive reports that striking staffers at the embattled Durban University of Technology (DUT) have vowed to continue with their industrial action despite the prospect of "no work‚ no pay".  

Determined academic and administration workers entered day six of their strike action on Tuesday‚ refusing to budge on their 10% wage increase demand.  DUT has apparently offered its staff 4%.  The National Education Health and Allied Workers' Union (Nehawu) said on Tuesday that the strike action would continue.  The strike action has reportedly hampered the registration of students‚ but DUT has called on students to register online.  One unnamed staffer said that if management did not meet the demands lectures - due to start next week - would also be delayed.
