Communiqué
of the Special General Council of the Zimbabwe Congress of Trade
Unions
Zimbabwe
Congress of Trade Unions (ZCTU)
July 28, 2007
We, the General
Council members of the Zimbabwe Congress of Trade Unions (ZCTU),
meeting at the Quality International Hotel in Harare on July 28
2007 to, among other things, discuss the proposed National Action
of August 2007 as resolved by the General Council meeting of 24
February 2007 and having;
Discussed and analysed the economic outlook in Zimbabwe and its
effects on the general workforce;
Explored the nature and extent of the national crisis facing the
economy;
Shared experiences on socio-economic development in the context
of the ongoing crisis; and
Considered inputs from ZCTU structures and affiliate unions on proposed
National Action,
Observing that;
- The ZCTU
signed the Prices and Incomes Stabilization Protocol on June 1
2007,
- That Industry
at National Employment Council level has not ensured that wages
are indexed to the Poverty Datum Line;
- The Government
has not addressed the contents of the September 13 2006 ZCTU petition
that led to the mass protests countrywide;
We therefore
hereby resolve that:
- Mobilization
of ZCTU structures and members for national action continue,
- Effective
consultations with other stakeholders on the National Action take
place,
- Notwithstanding,
National Action is still on the agenda and the dates will be announced
in due course.
Lovemore Matombo
President
