ZDAMWU secretary-general Justice Chinhema bemoaned the failure by employers to pay first-quarter salary arrears at a time when second-quarter wage negotiations should have been concluded.

Chinhema said as ZDAMWU, they were disappointed over employers’ failure to consider the COVID-19 allowances for mine workers when the sector was the only industry that remained on the ground and sustained other sectors during the lockdowns. *More: NewsDay* _If you found this article useful_ *Please support Pindula by forwarding to friends and groups*
