Redcliff risks property auction over salaries

REDCLIFF — Council employees have taken their employer to the High Court after the latter allegedly failed to implement a Labour Court order to settle workers’ salary arrears dating back to 2009.

The Zimbabwe Urban Councils Workers Union (ZUCWU) filed the lawsuit on behalf of workers, who are reportedly owed $495 000 by their employer.

ZUCWU branch chairperson Mathias Sibanda claimed the workers won an arbitration award on September 2010 where the council was ordered to pay $495 906, 82.
