One of the workers, who requested anonymity, said:<\/p>\n<p>The company has failed to pay us in US dollars. The last pay I received in US dollars was in June last year. I left the company in May this year and they have failed to settle the arrears.<\/p>\n<p>Another disgruntled worker said there had been little communication from management over the matter. He said:<\/p>\n<p>We have created a group of former workers and we are planning to involve lawyers so that we will be able to get our outstanding salaries.<\/p>\n<p>Another former employee said that she had visited the ZUPCO depot in Bulawayo but was continuously shuffled from one office to another. She said:<\/p>\n<p>I have been going to the ZUPCO depot in Bulawayo, but whenever I try to reach the managers about the issue of outstanding pay, they have ill-treated me and at times they say the people responsible for finance are unavailable.<\/p>\n<p>They have never tried to even offer an apology or communicate with us concerning the issue of our more than six months\u2019 unpaid salaries.<\/p>\n<p>They have neglected us and at the moment, some of us have a lot of responsibilities, but due to unpaid salaries, we are now suffering.<\/p>\n<p>ZUPCO Kelvin depot manager Melody Dege declined to comment on the matter. She told NewsDay:<\/p>\n<p>I cannot comment on the issue of the unpaid salaries over the phone.<\/p>\n<p>ZUPCO, which was recently placed under the Mutapa Investment Fund, has been struggling to stay afloat over the past few years.<\/p>\n<p>This comes despite enjoying a more than two-year public transport monopoly during the global lockdown at the height of the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020 and 2021.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About Zimbabwe Follow Africa-Press<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Zimbabwe.
