The National Joint Negotiation Council (NJNC) is set to reconvene this week after the talks between the Government and civil servants held last week were inconclusive.
The Government and the Zimbabwe Confederation of Public Sector Trade Unions (ZCPSTU), formerly Apex Council, met in Harare on Friday to discuss civil servants’ conditions of service but they failed to reach an agreement.
Speaking to <a href="https://www.newsday.co.zw/local-news/article/200013836/no-joy-for-civil-servants">NewsDay</a> on Monday, 10 July, ZCPSTU chairperson Cecilia Alexander said that the two parties have since agreed to meet again this week. She said:
<blockquote>
We had negotiations with the government on July 7th on Friday on the salary increment on both the US dollar and local currency components.
The meeting was not conclusive as the government is in consultation with its principal.
The government said they are going to consult further on the increment and we have since agreed to meet seven days from the day we met.
</blockquote>
Meanwhile, NewsDay reported sources who attended the meeting as saying the government had tabled an increment of US$50 hard cash and the equivalent of less than US$40 in local currency.
Civil servants have been pushing the Government to restore their pre-October 2018 salaries of US$540 for the least-paid employee.

Govt, Civil Servants Salary Talks To Resume This Week

Civil servants have threatened to engage President Emmerson Mnangagwa directly over their demand for a salary increment if the Minister of Public Service, Labour and Social Welfare Paul Mavima ignores their request to meet at the negotiating table soon.
Speaking at a belated Workers Day Commemorations organised by the Zimbabwe Confederation of Public Sector Trade Union (ZCPSTU) in Harare on Friday, union secretary general David Dzatsunga said they have written to Mavima notifying the Government that they were now financially incapacitated to continue reporting for duty.
Dzatsunga also said they requested for an urgent National Joint Negotiating Council (NJNC) meeting with their employer to discuss civil servants’ demand for a salary increment. <a href="https://www.zimlive.com/civil-servants-vow-to-escalate-wage-demands-to-mnangagwa/">ZimLive</a> quoted Dzatsunga as saying:
<blockquote>
Just yesterday (Thursday), we served notice to the Minister of Public Service, Labour and Social Welfare of our incapacitation.
The minister has our letter, where we notified him that workers are now incapacitated to report for duty.
Incapacitation does not refer to a strike; it’s just the fact that the economic situation has gone bad.
We have also requested an urgent NJNC (National Joint Negotiating Council) meeting to discuss the way forward concerning our situation.
We have also said that if that does not happen, we need to escalate that by writing to the President.
We are waiting for the minister (of Public Service) to respond to us then we come up with the next strategy.
</blockquote>
Civil servants are currently earning US$250 in allowances in addition to about ZWL$200 000 but they are demanding US$840 per month for the lowest-paid Government employee.
The call comes as prices of goods and services have been increasing rapidly, with most shops and service providers pegging prices on the parallel market exchange rate which has rendered a 100% pay hike for civil servants last month meaningless.

Civil Servants "Incapacitated", Vow To Escalate Salary Demands To Mnangagwa

President Emmerson Mnangagwa has pledged a US$200 bonus top-up for civil servants in addition to their regular annual bonuses.
This means that civil servants are this year receiving additional US dollar-denominated salaries under a “special presidential bonus.”
The secretary general of the Zimbabwe Confederation of Public Sector Trade Unions (ZCPSTU), David Dzatsunga, told <a href="https://www.zimlive.com/2022/11/mnangagwa-launches-presidential-bonus-charm-for-civil-servants/">Zimlive</a> that the presidential bonus will be paid on top of the conventional 13th cheque already promised to the workers.
He said the additional incentive was offered at the Monday National Joint Negotiating Council (NJNC) meeting bringing together government and public sector union representatives. Said Dzatsunga:
<blockquote>
The President intervened because we then realised that the bonuses were not going to be quite meaningful without that US$200 and also to clarify that the presidential bonus will be paid in two tranches; half of that will be paid this month and the other half will be paid next month. This was done to make sure that everybody gets their money.
So we are getting $200 plus a bit of what we were supposed to get as a bonus.
You find that the lowest-paid civil servant will get a bonus of $250 and then it goes up to about $347 for the upper grade. Naturally, workers were appreciative of the extra money.
</blockquote>
According to the communiqué released at the end of the NJNC meeting, an additional US$200 will be paid to every government employee as a special presidential bonus. It reads:
<blockquote>
Payment of the 2022 bonus for deputy director level and grades below will be in US dollars as 100% of gross pensionable emoluments (basic salary, transport and housing allowance. An additional US$200 will be paid to every employee as a special presidential bonus.
The bonus will be paid in two equal tranches across all sectors starting from November, with the latest payment being in December.
</blockquote>
The government said the bonus will be paid over two months, with half of the bonus payment set to be effected alongside November salaries, and the other in December.

Civil Servants To Receive Conventional Bonus Plus "Special Presidential Bonus"

Civil servants have rejected a US$25 increment offered by the government and are instead pushing for more.
The government recently offered a US$25 increment to public sector employees to give a total of US$200 during the last National Joint Negotiating Council (NJNC) meeting.
However, Apex Council secretary David Dzatsunga told <a href="https://businesstimes.co.zw/civil-servants-want-njnc-disbanded/">Business Times</a> that the NJNC should be disbanded and replaced with a body that allows genuine dialogue. Said Dzatsunga:
<blockquote>
The government offered a US$25 without workers’ consultation and the workers have rejected that amount describing the increment as too little.
Dialogue is still ongoing as we are still expecting the government representatives.
The government is promising to pay US$200 in October but it has not attended to the ZWL component which has remained static.
The medical aid covers, funeral policies and other levies have increased in ZWL$ at a time the local currency remained static and this has left the amount eroded.
If they had been on CBC [Collective Bargaining Chamber] we would have negotiated for the increase of both components but because it is NJNC the government has the upper hand and is dictating the pace.
</blockquote>
Dzatsunga said wages in local currency remained static while the RTGS has depreciated and needs an urgent increment.
Meanwhile, the lowest-paid civil servant is getting ZWL$36 000 per month.
Government workers are demanding a pre-October 2018 salary level of US$540 a month.
This comes as the country’s cost of living for a family of six rose by 263% to ZWL$274 858.75 in the month of August from ZWL$75 757.62 in January.

Civil Servants Push For Zimbabwe Dollar Salary Hike

Civil servants want the government to speed up the disbandment of the National Joint Negotiating Council (NJNC).
The representatives of civil servants accuse the government of manipulating the platform to its advantage while neglecting the interests of workers.
Speaking in an interview with <a href="https://businesstimes.co.zw/civil-servants-want-njnc-disbanded/">Business Times</a>, Zimbabwe Confederation of Public Sector Trade Unions (ZCPSTU) secretary David Dzatsunga said:
<blockquote>
In terms of the social dialogue framework, we should move away from NJNC which is a consultative forum to a Collective Bargaining Chamber where we meet as equals.
Under NJNC, the government representatives say they are going to consult but they will just disappear into thin air and the next day you just see an amount which you have not discussed.
</blockquote>
Recently, Public Service, Labour and Social Welfare Minister Paul Mavima revealed that the government was replacing the NJNC with the Collective Bargaining Chamber (CBC). He said:
<blockquote>
We are in the process of creating a CBC to replace the NJNC. I, therefore, call upon you all to give your views on this exciting development and to ensure that you contribute meaningfully to this process.
</blockquote>
However, the Collective Bargaining Chamber is yet to materialise.
Some unions representing civil servants have accused the government of hand-picking “friendly” unions to attend NJNC.
