Africa-Press<\/a> – Zimbabwe<\/a>. <\/strong><\/span>Teachers\u2019 unions and State Universities workers unions have given the government notice of their intention to strike over salaries which they want to be restored to where they were in 2018 when they were paid about USD540.<\/p>\n

Their notice comes when the government has approved a 200% hike in university fees, which will result in students at State universities forking out between ZW$25 000 and ZW$40 000 per semester, up from ZW$9 000.<\/p>\n

Salary negotiations between workers and the government commenced last week but there was an impasse after workers rejected the proposal which the government had tabled.<\/p>\n

The employees demand that the employer makes urgent steps to attain the regional level salary scales as per the agreements of 2010.<\/p>\n

The universities employees\u2019 notice comes after the Amalgamated Rural Teachers Union of Zimbabwe (Artuz) released a statement yesterday inviting citizens to join them in their nationwide strike scheduled for March 22 dubbed #SaveOurEducationZw.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
