A pro Zanu PF labour Union The Zimbabwe Federation of Trade Unions ZFTU says Zanu PF should be held accountable for letting down workers who are being sacked by their employers as a result of the Godfrey Chidyausiku labour judgment.
“Let us take the bull by its horns,”ZFTU secretary general Kennias Shamhuyarira told journalists Thursday in Harare.
“We have Ministers like Patrick Chinamasa and Mike Bimha who are pushing their capitalistic agendas.
“Chinamasa is calling for the reduction of the civil service wage bill will be only possible after workers have been chased.
Shamhuyarira said:“Bimha was today addressing a business community in Gweru pushing for the same agenda, and we are saying Zanu PF has been infested by capitalists, and hypocrites.
“These are the politicians most of the owning the remaining few resources and they are pushing for their interests”.
“We have a labour Minister who has failed to convince fellow cabinet ministers to jointly lobby for the reversal of the judgment, and those are the people who should be fired”.
ZFTU said they are visiting individual companies which have sacked workers and issuing g them a 72 hours ultimatum to recall the fired employees.
It emerged from the ZFTU that the number of workers who have been fired is now at 16 000.
