Moyo said last year’s retrenchments were lower than in 2015 but however highlighted that the figure could be much more as several companies did not register their layoffs. The ZCTU secretary-general also revealed that between the 1st and 19th of this month, 26 companies have retrenched workers as revealed at the Retrenchment Board’s first meeting last week on Thursday.
