The ZANU PF controlled National Railways of Zimbabwe (NRZ) has fired a record 355 workers.
The move comes immediately the after Supreme Court ruling which now allows companies to terminate contracts on three months’ notice and without pay.
According to sources, the massive layoffs at NRZ, which were expected to affect up to 1 200 workers, have seen two departments being shut down being the Inspectorate Services Section and Research Design and Development.
Targeted employees who were given letters of employment termination were mostly those who book off sick continuously and those with pending disciplinary cases, as well as the vocal and militant ones, an NRZ official claimed yesterday. They said about 60 first-year apprentices were laid off. NRZ spokesperson Fanuel Masikati could not be reached for comment last night. The parastatal has not been paying workers for some time now.
