*Highlanders Players Get Salary Hike* *Follow Pindula on WhatsApp for daily new updates* https://whatsapp.com/channel/0029Va84dngJP21B2nWeyM3v?qw Highlanders Football Club has reportedly topped up players’ monthly salaries by US$70 after the intervention of the Footballers Union of Zimbabwe (FUZ). Bosso players embarked on a strike and refused to train in the build-up to last Sunday’s Chibuku Super Cup clash against Bulawayo City. ---------- itel A70 256GB $99USD WhatsApp: https://wa.me/+263715068543 Calls: 0772464000 ---------- They only temporarily suspended their industrial action a day before the match when they trained at a private school before they went on to win 1-0. The players wanted US$100 and the club said it could only afford US$50 but FUZ pushed that amount to US$70, which ended up being the agreed figure. Reports indicate that Bosso players have since been paid that amount as a top-up to their May salaries. FUZ secretary-general, Thomas Sweswe told Sunday News that they do not encourage their members to go on strike, instead, they should push for amicable solutions between clubs and players. He said: > We do not advocate for our members to go on strike, they should engage in dialogue with their clubs. > We encourage the players to come to us first before they engage in any strike action. FUZ is not there to fight clubs, we understand the situation. > If the Highlanders players had come to us first, we would have told them to follow the right procedures. > We always do these workshops with players to educate them on the right procedures to follow. Sweswe, a former Highlanders and Kaizer Chiefs defender, expressed his gratitude to the club’s leadership for agreeing to work with the FUZ leadership in finding a solution. Said Sweswe: > We want to thank Highlanders for allowing us to meet them on behalf of the players and a solution was found and we hope there are no issues going forward. > Our president, Desmond Maringwa ended up coming to Bulawayo specifically to understand the grievance from the players and the club. *More: The Sunday News* _If you found this article useful_ *Please support Pindula by forwarding to friends and groups*
