The last NJNC meeting was held in Harare on Friday, 17 June 2022 where the government offered its workers a 100% pay increase which civil servants flatly rejected.

Civil servants are demanding a pre-October 2018 salary level of US$540 a month for the lowest-paid worker.

Secretary-General of the Zimbabwe Confederation of Public Sector Trade Unions (ZCPSTU), formerly Apex Council, recently said civil servants will only consider a US dollar offer from their employer. He said:

> We gave the government representatives a position that workers are only accepting US$ salary.

> They said we don’t have a mandate from the principles to speak to that and they asked for time to consult.

> They should just put a mind to it that what can one do with ZWL$, where can you buy, you go to the black market to access US$ as everything now needs forex for example landlords need hard currency, fuel requires the same, passport and schools hence no need for the local currency offer.

> If we don’t get US$ we are excluded from the economy.

> We flatly rejected the 100% ZWL$ increment and anything to do with the ZWL$ as it will not mean anything especially when the authorities say the effective date will be July 1.

> If we negotiate now, by the time that money gets into our account it will not mean anything.
