The Zimbabwe Congress of Trade Unions on Tuesday dismissed the government’s offer of a “cushioning allowance”, and characterised it as “modern-day slavery”.

In an interview with Zim Morning Post, ZCTU president, Peter Mutasa said that workers want a living wage, and not a “cushioning allowance”, a term that does not exist in the labour vocabulary.

Mutasa warned that the union will mobilise its members for industrial action in the coming days. He said:

_We are not accepting modern-day slavery, industrial action is a solution starting from July 22 we will have a two day stay away and if we are not heard we will take it to the next stage._

_Mthuli Ncube is a hypocrite, he acknowledges that he is not giving workers a living wage but hides with a cushion allowance which is not sustainable and not legal and unsustainable, this is what we call modern-day slavery._

_… We have been saying this for some time now, we want a living wage for every worker either a US dollar or equivalent rate salary for every employee has not been listening, therefore, we are now going for industrial action._

On Monday, Finance and Economic Development Minister, Mthuli Ncube, promised civil servants a cushioning allowance and urged the private sector to follow suit. He said then:

_We are going to make an announcement in terms of a cushioning allowance in the next weeks and industries may you to follow the suit and look after your employees._

_We realized companies have been making these profits and we have been taking care of our shareholders but leaving out our employees._
