Africa-Press – Zimbabwe. <\/strong><\/span>The Zimbabwe Confederation of Public Sector Trade Unions (ZCPSTU), formerly the Civil Service Apex Council, has pleaded with the Government to restore civil servants\u2019 United States dollar earnings to $300.<\/p>\n

This comes after the Government introduced deductions on the US$300 COVID-19 allowance following its conversion to a pensionable salary with effect from this month.<\/p>\n

NewZimbabwe.com reported ZCPSTU president Cecilia Alexander as saying civil servants are now earning less than what they were getting last year. Said Alexander:<\/p>\n

While the ZCPSTU appreciates the noble gesture by the employer to make the US$300 the salary, there is however an outcry from all public sector employees regards the new salary structure.<\/p>\n

It is the workers\u2019 experience that the deductions on the USD have left them with inadequate disposable income constituting unfair labour practice on the part of the employer.<\/p>\n

It is a trite labour principle that an employee\u2019s salary shall not be subject to reduction for any reason.<\/p>\n

In light of the above, ZCPSTU expects the employer to restore the workers\u2019 take home to more than USD 300 without compromising the principle of USD as the salary.<\/p>\n

The decision to turn the US$300 allowance into a salary was announced by the Minister of Finance, Economic Development, and Investment Promotion, Mthuli Ncube during the 2024 National Budget presentation.<\/p>\n

Over the past several years, civil servants have been demanding that the Government raise workers\u2019 salaries to pre-October 2018 levels of US$540 per month for the least-paid employee.<\/p>\n
