September 05, 2006

The Zimbabwe Congress of Trade Unions (ZCTU) will be organizing processions country-wide on Wednesday 13 September 2006 from 12.00 PM to 2.00 PM to show government and employers that workers have gone this far with their suffering and cannot go any further.

The ZCTU demands the following;

• Minimum Wages and Salaries linked to the Poverty Datum Line (PDL) Reduction of Income Tax to a 30 % maximum. Workers earning below the PDL(84 000 as at August 2006) should not be taxed.
• Availability and Free Access to Anti Ritro Virals (ARVs)
• Stabilisation of prices of basic commodities
• A stop to harassment of Informal Economy Workers by local authority police and the ZRP
