b) Naaement of Time:<br />

The management people are the last ones in and the first<br />

ones out. Very few people are on time, and many leave<br />

as much as one to one and a half hours early. In a<br />

two-week period, I had three appointments with the General<br />

Manager who failed to keep any one of the appointments<br />

without notification. Furthermore, the U.C.T.U. has 150<br />

vehicles with only 100 operating, and this situation has<br />

existed for some time. Sinco they are carrying 150 drivers<br />

and turnboys on their payroll, at lease one-third are not<br />

working at any given time.<br />

c) HousekeeDinm;<br />

Here is a good indication of the management's inefficiency.<br />

In order to gain maximum efficiency, the workplace must<br />

be kept clean and orderly. The Kawempe terminal is one<br />

big Jvjk yard. On Septe<strong>mb</strong>er 30 I wrote a memo to the<br />

General Manager about the housekeeping and security of<br />

the terminal. On October 4 we had a meeting with the<br />

General Manager and his staff to discuss the problem, and<br />

it was agreed that it would be taken care of immediately.<br />

One month later the condition still exists.<br />

d) Security:<br />

Security is practically non-existant. While they do have<br />

police guards and a gate person, people come and go continually.<br />

I see many people both bringing in and leaving<br />

with packages that are never checked.<br />

There are always 50 to 75 people milling around in front<br />

of the offices. On the street, in front of the gates,<br />

there are as many, or more, milling about. We discussed<br />

this with the management staff at the October 4 meeting,<br />

and also talked about increasing security. As of this<br />

date, no measures have been taken to improve this area.<br />
