SALARY NEGOTIATIONS: Govt & Workers To Resume Talks Today

The government is set to meet today with civil servants representatives to resume salary negotiations. This comes after workers rejected the ZW$97 increment the government had proposed for each. Reports suggest that teachers are demanding at least RTGS$4 600 for the least paid worker.

The National Joint Negotiating Council (NJNC) is expected to convene a meeting in Harare today as part of its ongoing discussions on salary increments and other conditions of service for Government employees.

Zimbabwe Teachers’ Association (Zimta) president Mr Richard Gundane said teachers wanted salaries to be increased in line with the inflation and the cost of living. Said Mr Gundane:

During the first meeting, Government offered a RTGS$30 million monthly envelope which translated to RTGS$97 for each civil servant per month. This offer was rejected. The second meeting was slated for Thursday 11 July 2019 but did not materialise, but was scheduled for Monday July 15, 2019.

Gundane added that teachers’ demands were being informed by the state of the economy, currently characterised by soaring inflation that has eroded workers’ salaries.
