Civil Service Unions Meet After Govt Fails To Review September Salaries

Civil service union leaders will hold a meeting on Friday morning to deliberate on the way forward after the government failed to review civil servants’ salaries in September.

Last month, Finance and Economic Development Minister Mthuli Ncube met with representatives of civil servants under the Zimbabwe Confederation of Public Sector Trade Unions (ZCPSTU) banner to discuss salaries and conditions of service.

During the meeting, Ncube said the government will consider increasing the US dollar component paid to public workers in September.

However, the government did not increase its workers’ salaries as they were expecting and this may result in job action by the restive civil service.

In a statement, PTUZ said the government has insulted teachers and the rest of the civil service (ROCS) by failing to improve their conditions of service. PTUZ said:

Civil service unions meet this morning (Friday) to deliberate on the latest insult from govt.
The indication by the government that teachers and ROCS don’t matter will likely lead to the collapse of public sector services.
Govt can’t end the year the same way it started.

Civil servants are currently getting US$175 in allowances but they are pushing for the restoration of their pre-October 2018 salaries of US$540.

Civil servants are being taken for a ride. The sooner they realise the sooner they decide either to stay on the ride or get off. How many times have promises between them and the government left hanging with no improvements. They complain and stage protests but go back to work once given half backed truths. Sometimes they get threats from relevant ministries and go back working with tails between the legs. For a people who are so called learned enough to teach or diagnose illnesses they need to be smart enough to know when they are being f.u.cked

I do not blame the government but the civil servant for their cowardice. They should take the government head on . We did it in 1995 because we had genuine leaders under Public Service Association (PSA) whose affiliates Gwa,Zimta and CEASA.For two sold weeks we dug in until government conceded to our demands. The current leaders have no structures ,workers do not even who voted then intoboffuce and they are suspected to Zanu Pf activists. If indeed they are acting in good faith they would even have taken court action.

Would one be wrong to conclude that this government is practising chicanery. It is ruling by hook and crooks. How could a well established government, with a full fledged His Excellency and a full compliment of Ministers behave like persons running a tuck shop ? I was born and bred during the Rhodesia Front administration. I also worked in the same administration for 7 years before Zimbabwe became independent in 1980. I then diligently worked for the first ZANU PF administration and retired. It is in the second ZANU PF Administration where I am first experiencing this scenario of a full compliment of government Minister attends a meeting with workers where minutes are documented, and that Minister promises to increase their salary, but fails without an explanation, to award that salary increment. There is something awkwardly engraved in this second ZANU PF Administration. Civil servants must engage this ZANU PF second administration head on and demand a one month backdated increment by October 2022. [ SALARY INCREMENT APPROVED, BUT DELAYED IS JUSTICE DENIED ]. CITIZENS MUST REGISTER TO VOTE AND VOTE CCC POLITICAL PARTY FOR REAL CHANGE ]. Yours sincerely William Sonboy CHINEMBIRI [ THE BUSH LAWYER ].

NO MANIKINIKI THIS HAS NOTHING TO FO WITH CCC. THIS IS A LABOUR ISSUE BETWEEN WORKERS AND EMPLOYER SO DO POLITICISE THIS MATTER

@Chimombe, it is this economically and financially illiterate employer, in the name of ZANU government that has failed. They are the ones, through financially bankrupt policies that have crippled the economy to a point where as employers are unable to remunerate their employees. So in short it is a political matter @Chimombe. It is the myopic supporters like you that enables ZANU to trample on employee rights with impunity

This Zanu gvt is the most cruel i ve ever seen or heard of. What does a salary of 40 000 rtgs do for a family man these days. The US175 component is swallowed by rent and fees. The rtgs component cannot buy a week groceries. When workers air their grieviences it is then called a regime change agenda. Why Zanu is fighting its employees and bringing all this misery is only known to them. The only solution is to vote these devils out and make a fresh start. CHAMISA CHETE CHETE.
