THE country’s main labour federations Thursday snubbed a Tripartite Negotiation Forum (TNF) meeting called by Labour Minister Paul Mavima in protest over government’s attempt to avoid a discussion on the current eroded workers’ salaries.
The Zimbabwe Congress of Trade Unions (ZCTU), civil servants’ representative Apex Council and the Zimbabwe Federation of Trade Unions (ZFTU) set aside their ideological differences and joined hands in a “rare marriage” to pile pressure on the government to improve workers’ salaries.
Speaking to NewZimbabwe.com, ZCTU president Peter Mutasa slammed Mavima for avoiding the critical issue of poor salaries currently being offered to workers.
