When the nbc board was asked by the Committee if it sought permission or arrangements from the employees on how to effect the deductions from their salaries, board member Inonge Mainga said the nbc signed the rules with NAPWU, which represented the workers.
nbc's Board Chairperson Lazarus Jacobs and Director General Stanley Similo informed the Parliamentary Standing Committee on Human Recourses that the nbc could have handled the employees' strike differently.
Similo together with his management, accompanied by members of the corporation's board, made their second appearance before the committee.
In 2021, nbc employees went on a nationwide strike, demanding an 8% salary increment and for all workers on one-month contracts to be employed on a full-time basis.
