According to the publication, the Supreme Court upheld the labor court\u2019s ruling and ordered that the workers be reinstated or be paid damages in lieu of reinstatement because their dismissal dismissals via three months\u2019 termination notices were slipshod.<\/p>\n

Air Zimbabwe has even notified fired workers that the reinstatement letters are ready for collection. MDC Alliance leader Nelson Chamisa was one of the lawyers working on the case when the landmark ruling was made in 2016.<\/p>\n
