Africa-Press – Zimbabwe. <\/strong><\/span>Zimbabwe Professional Nurses Union (ZPNU) president, Robert Chiduku, says he will appeal against his dismissal.<\/p>\n

Chiduku, who was based at Gweru Provincial Hospital, was fired last week for conducting union business at work without the consent of the employer. He said:<\/p>\n

I was dismissed with immediate effect and the accusation was that I used government premises without consent to conduct union business.<\/p>\n

We are going to appeal in terms of that judgment in terms of the laws of Zimbabwe we are going to launch an appeal.<\/p>\n

I feel abandoned by the employers, I didn\u2019t expect it because we had raised our grievances procedurally.<\/p>\n

Zimbabwe Congress of Trade Unions (ZCTU) Japhet Moyo condemned Chiduku\u2019s sacking and vowed to fight for his reinstatement. Said Moyo:<\/p>\n

Chiduku has a right to belong to a union, Chiduku has a right to be elected and represent workers, and he has a right in terms of the law to participate in the activities of the association he belongs to.<\/p>\n

The country\u2019s constitution provides for that. So this is a fight that we will mount until Chiduku is returned to back work.<\/p>\n

HSB has also targeted over 200 nurses countrywide for disciplinary action after nurses at most public hospitals embarked on strike action in June demanding better salaries.<\/p>\n
