Fourteen turn down WUC job offers

Wednesday that WUC has an establishment of 475 positions of which 368 had been offered to the staff members from the Department of Water Affairs and local authorities.

"Of these 348 have accepted the positions, 14 declined, one is deceased and five are outstanding. Two-hundred and fifty-five employees were not absorbed by WUC from Phase 2 and have been redeployed within their Sub Districts, while employees of DWA have been redeployed within the DWA's other stations at the end of January 2010," the minister said. He did not say why the 14 declined the WUC job offers but only indicated that the unions supported the takeover.
