Communique
on the Fuel Price Increase
Zimbabwe
Congress of Trade Unions (ZCTU)
April 16, 2003
The Zimbabwe
Congress of Trade Unions (ZCTU) General Council, sitting today on
the 16th of April 2003 at an urgent General Council meeting resolves
that;
The unilateral
hiking of fuel prices by government on the 15th of April 2003 is
'illegal' and therefore not acceptable. It is a crime against humanity
Because of the
above, it has therefore been unanimously decided that;
- The ZCTU's
participation at the Tripartite Negotiating Forum has been buried
today
- The TNF minimum
wage figure of Z$46 000 has been overtaken by events and therefore
the ZCTU does not recognise it any more
- The ZCTU
demands that the government immediately reverses the price of
fuel. There is no justification for the increase since the TNF
was supposed to be meeting on the 24th of April 2003
- The government's
continued unilateral action has shown that they are negotiating
in bad faith and that the TNF is a playground
If the government
does not reverse the price of fuel, the ZCTU is undertaking a specified
action immediately.
