MARS workers down tools
NewsDay Staff ·
ABOUT 60 employees at a privately-owned emergency health service provider, Medical Air Rescue Services (MARS), staged a sit-in at the firm’s Harare branch yesterday and handed in a petition demanding the immediate resignation of the company’s judicial manager, Christopher Maswi.
The workers accused Maswi, who was appointed MARS judicial manager in February this year, of siphoning money from the company’s coffers and failing to settle over $1,5 million in salary arrears.
Only a skeletal staff of six people remained on standby reportedly to deal with emergency cases.
