Energy industry workers threaten strike

WORKERS in the energy industry have threatened a nationwide collective job action that could plunge the country into total darkness if management at Zesa fails to implement a 2012 collective job agreement.

Addressing a Press conference in Harare yesterday, the Zimbabwe Energy Workers’ Union (Zewu) and National Energy Workers’ Union of Zimbabwe (Newuz) said workers would down tools if management fail to honour the agreement.

“I cannot tell you when, but the strike is imminent,” Zewu secretary-general Martin Chikuni said.
