Govt workers fight US$ NSSA deductions

THE Zimbabwe Confederation of Public Sector Trade Unions (ZCPSTU) has petitioned the Public Service Commission (PSC) to halt the anticipated United States dollar salary deductions to allow for debate to be discussed at the National Joint Negotiation Committee (NJNC) with the objective of linking it to a salary revision.

The Treasury granted the National Social Security Authority (NSSA) the right to deduct payments in US dollars.

However, trade unions representing public service workers denounced the government’s proposal.
