Govt, Civil Servants Representatives To Meet Again On 16 March

Civil servants reportedly rejected a US$50 salary increment offered by the Government during a National Joint Negotiating Council (NJNC) meeting held last week Friday.

On Thursday 02 March, the government reportedly offered civil servants a 50% Zimbabwe dollar increment and a US$20 hike which was rejected.

Then on Friday, 10 March, the government offered to increase civil servants’ gross salaries in local currency from 50% to 100% and reconfigured the COVID-19 allowance and the cushion allowance from the previously offered US$220 to US$250.

Representatives of the civil servants under the Zimbabwe Congress of Public Sector Trade Unions (ZCPSTU), did not disclose the figures tabled by the government during the negotiations.

In a statement issued on Friday, ZCPSTU only said there were issues that they did not agree with during the negotiations. Part of the statement reads:

Buy Samsung, itel, Redmi smartphones in Zimbabwe

WhatsApp: +263715068543

The government made several concessions on our demands, but there are outstanding issues.

As a workers’ team of negotiators, we requested the government team of negotiators to engage their principals and make further consultations about the outstanding demands.

The meeting has agreed to meet on March 16, 2023, for feedback from the government’s side.

Civil servants are demanding a salary increment that would see the least-paid worker earning US$840.
