UZ in climbdown, revokes union leaders’ suspension

THE University of Zimbabwe (UZ) has revoked the suspension of the Association of University  Teachers (AUT) leaders in a last-ditch attempt to end lecturers’ industrial action.

In a two-sentence letter addressed to AUT member Obvious Vengayi, vice-chancellor Paul Mapfumo on Friday said the suspension had been revoked with “salary and benefits” restored. No reasons were given.
