Africa-Press<\/a> – Zimbabwe<\/a>. <\/strong><\/span>The Zimbabwe Congress of Trade Unions (ZCTU) has lashed out at the Confederation of Zimbabwe Industries (CZI) for calling for the suspension of Statutory Instrument 127 of 2021.<\/p>\n

ZCTU said CZI is not a victim of a bad policy and its call for the suspension of the SI is motivated by greed as it has been colluding with the government to exploit workers and consumers.<\/p>\n

In a statement, the workers\u2019 representative body called for social dialogue, saying business should not be allowed to dictate what must happen. ZCTU said:<\/p>\n

The call by [the Confederation of Zimbabwe Industries] for immediate suspension of SI 127 without a clear call for an equitable economic policy aimed at addressing the mismatch between RTGS salaries and prices pegged in USD black market rates is irresponsible and motivated by greed.<\/p>\n

While it is true that SI 127 has caused serious troubles in the market, these are just symptoms of deeper economic inequalities obtaining in the country.<\/p>\n

Businesses and government have been colluding to exploit workers and now is the time to correct this.<\/p>\n

We reiterate our position that businesses are not victims but accomplices in exploiting workers and consumers. Therefore businesses must not be allowed to dictate what must happen<\/p>\n

We need a new social contract that is a product of inclusive social dialogue.<\/p>\n

The government last week gazetted SI 127 of 2021 which compels business to peg prices of goods and services in line with the official exchange rate.<\/p>\n

The new regulations penalise those found on the wrong side of the law including businesses refusing to transact in the local dollar.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, CZI has called for the suspension of SI 127 of 2021 to allow for dialogue between government and business.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
