Following the court ruling that employers can now fire workers as they wish, ZCTU has set the 8th of August to take to the streets of the main towns of Zimbabwe to make their voice heard.
The following is a statement released by Japhet Moyo, the Secretary General.
PRESS RELEASE
RE: ZCTU National Demonstrations Against Job Losses
This Press Release is to inform the workers and the general public that the Zimbabwe Congress of Trade Unions (ZCTU)’s highest decision-making body in between the Congress, the General Council, met on 1 August 2015 and resolved that workers in Zimbabwe embark on a national protest against the continuing job losses and the threat to the existence of trade union.
The demonstrations will be held on Saturday 8 August 2015.
This follows the Supreme Court ruling that authorized employers to terminate employment contracts on notice and without giving any reason.
The national demonstrations will be held in Harare, Bulawayo, Gweru, Chinhoyi and Mutare. The police will be informed on these activities.
We urge all workers, sympathizers and those who have lost their jobs to join hands to denounce what is currently happening and to call upon the government to immediately stop the abuse of workers.
Japhet Moyo
Secretary-General
