WhatsApp: 0️⃣7️⃣8️⃣3️⃣ 4️⃣5️⃣0️⃣ 7️⃣9️⃣3️⃣ ---------- According to Statutory Instrument 102 of 2022, domestic workers are now entitled to $10 000 and $11 576 for those taking care of children. The minimum wage for other employees was pegged at $25 000. Last week Consumer Council of Zimbabwe (CCZ) said the consumer basket for a family of six was $120 000. ZCTU secretary-general Japhet Moyo said the new minimum wages are unacceptable, and workers should be paid their salaries in US dollars. Moyo said: > The $25 000 minimum wage is inadequate for any family and this is an indication that something is very wrong with this country’s monetary policies. > Government needs to stabilise currency issues or pay workers in United States dollars. > Workers are demanding USD salaries because they want to survive. It is also within their rights to negotiate with employers. > The government should respond to expert advice that has been proffered over the years on how to instil confidence in workers and the market. In a statement, the Zimbabwe Domestic and Allied Workers Union said the latest review of workers’ salaries did not improve their lives as the prices of basic grocery items continue to rise. *More: NewsDay* _If you found this article useful_ *Please support Pindula by forwarding to friends and groups*
