Employees of the Namibia Press Agency (NAMPA) today handed over their petition to the agency's Board Deputy Chairperson, Kingsley ǂGuiseb, in Windhoek.

ǂGuiseb assured the employees that the board will address all the grievances of the employees stated in the petition within a week's time.

The agency's employees have been demonstrating against what they regard as unfair labour practises at the workplace.

In their petition, the aggrieved employees noted that NAMPA policies are disregarded and not applied across the board, but only when they favour management.

Employees at the Namibia Press Agency's (NAMPA) head office in Windhoek held a demonstration against unfair labour practises within the agency.

The aggrieved employees are demonstrating against what they regard as unfair internal promotions, no corporate governance from management, and management negotiating in bad faith in a toxic working environment.

They further say that employee grievances are seen as a threat, and they cannot raise their voice on their issues.

They demand better working conditions and a salary increment.
