RE: UPDATE ON 2018 COLLECTIVE BARGAINING NEGOTIATIONS
We refer to the above matter and advise that parties met at the NEC in Harare on the 26th of June 2019. No agreement was reached and the matter was adjourned to 2 July 2019 for the third and final meeting.
The following were parties’ last positions:
| ITEMS/DESCRIPTION | UNIONS | EMPLOYERS |
| Basic pay @ A1 | 645 USD | 2.5% increase |
| Housing Allowance | Status quo | Status quo |
| Non-Pensionable Allowance | Status quo | Status quo |
| Transport Allowance | 200 USD | 0% |
| Canteen Allowance | 210 USD | 0% |
| Inflation Adjustment | 40% | 0% |
The Unions interest is that we quickly dispense with 2018 so that we deal with 2019 without further delay.
Please revert to the undersigned for any clarification.
Regards
T. Masvingwe
Secretary General
