CIVIL servants yesterday rejected government’s additional 20% salary offer that would have seen the highest paid worker getting $16 430 per month. BY MOSES MATENGA The disgruntled civil servants have been demanding a salary hike to match the rate of inflation and cushion them against the harsh economic environment, with teachers demanding at least US$520, but government has shot down demands for United States dollar-based salaries. Government last month offered its restive workers a 40% hike and converted the US$75 COVID-19 allowance introduced in June this year to be part of their monthly salary, but civil servants insist that the increase is not enough given the country’s hyperinflationary environment. Apex Council, the umbrella body for all public service unions, confirmed that yesterday’s conditions of service meeting with government had ended in a stalemate. The Apex Council said it would now consult its members on the way forward. Apex Council spokesperson David Dzatsunga, however, refused to give details of the meeting, referring NewsDay to a statement issued after the deliberations. Part of the statement read: “The much-awaited National Joint Negotiating Council meeting where the government was expected to feedback and move significantly on the cost of living adjustment for civil servants has been finally held on November 3, 2020. “In the previous meeting, the government had made an offer of 40% of the total package and today increased it by a further 20% of the current earnings of an individual. This new offer is to be with effect from November 1, 2020.” However, the workers, who are earning way below the poverty datum line, rejected the offer saying it did not address their incapacitation. “The workers side flatly rejected the offer for falling short of addressing the incapacitation of civil servants. However, the workers’ side asked for an adjournment to tomorrow for a feedback to its full council and its constituency on the way forward (concerning) the said offer and expects to meet the government this week for workers’ position,” the statement further read. The new offer would see B1 workers getting $13 590, C5 earning $14 105, D1 getting $15 077, while E1, would be the highest paid workers, who are earning $16 430. Workers in grade D, where most education personnel belong to, have been awarded a special COVID-19 allowance of 10% of basic salary that translates to $517. Government has been trying to address the plight of its workers, but all its offers so far have not satisfied the restive civil servants. Teachers said they remained incapacitated. Recently, government extended an equivalent of US$500 as funeral assistance for its underpaid civil servants who would have passed on. Teachers downed tools in September ahead of the reopening of schools for examination classes. Schools reopened for another batch of students on Monday last week, amid reports that most schools were being manned by heads and senior masters as the majority of teachers stayed away citing incapacitation. The prolonged teachers strik

THE Zimbabwe Congress of Trade Unions (ZCTU) has threatened to roll out a nationwide strike to press for United States dollar-based salaries and better working conditions. BY RICHARD MPONDE ZCTU president Peter Mutasa yesterday said the labour body was mobilising for the national shutdown with the date for the showdown set to be announced soon. “It’s true we are mobilising for the national shutdown,” Mutasa said. He also took to Twitter to mobilise for the mass protests. “Workers and citizens of Zimbabwe arise. Towards a general strike! Our struggle is not going to be one day, one week, one month or a year, but lifetime. Speak up against any form of injustice, oppression or exploitation,” he posted. “Workers have been demanding that they be paid a living wage. Since February, the labour movement representatives at the Tripartite Negotiating Forum have been clear that workers must be paid in US dollars in order to restore the value that has been eroded by inflation and devaluation,” Mutasa wrote. “The government and business representatives requested for six months to either stabilise the economy or dollarise. The government has dollarised almost everything, including trade and taxes, except salaries.” The call for the mass protests came at a time teachers’ unions are divided, with other unions accusing Zimbabwe Teachers’ Association (Zimta) of selling out the struggle. This was after Zimta Nicodemously met with President Emmerson Mnangagwa on Monday last week, where they agreed on a US$320 minimum wage, down from their common position of US$520. Past protests by the labour unions have often turned violent after government unleashed soldiers on protesters. Protests led by ZCTU in January last year resulted in 18 deaths. lFollow Richard on Twitter @muponderichard

RAIN spoiled the contest between TT Red Force and Jamaica Scorpions in the CG United Super50 tournament at the Queen’s Park Oval in St Clair on Thursday as the match ended in a no result.

After rain throughout the afternoon the match was called off at 3.30 pm.

Scorpions closed their innings on 213/9 in 48 overs, but Red Force never got an opportunity to bat.

Batting first, the top order of the Scorpions continued to struggle as they were three wickets down with less than 70 runs on the board.

Chadwick Walton (23), Jermaine Blackwood (ten) and Andre McCarthy (19) all fell cheaply, but a solid partnership between captain Rovman Powell and Nkrumah Bonner led Scorpions back into the contest.

The prolific leg spinner Yannic Cariah was kept wicket-less for his first eight overs.

However, the leading wicket taker in the tournament could not be kept quiet forever as he removed Powell for 48 off 69 balls, caught by wicket-keeper Nicholas Pooran.

It was Cariah’s 15th wicket of the competition.

Bonner tried to hold the innings together, bringing up his 50 with a cut shot off Cariah to backward point for four. It was an expensive over by Cariah as he conceded three fours to end with figures of 1/54 in ten overs.

Brad Barnes’s stay at the crease was brief as he was trapped leg before for one to fast bowler Shannon Gabriel.

Jeavor Royal was the next batsman dismissed, leg before to Sunil Narine for two as the off spinner snatched his third wicket.

Wickets continued to tumble including the wicket of Bonner for 74, caught at long on by Kjorn Ottley to give left-arm spinner Akeal Hosein the wicket. Bonner’s 104-ball innings included seven fours.

Rain interrupted play with Scorpions on 197/9 after 46 overs, leading to a one hour and 15-minute delay.

The Scorpions innings was reduced to 48 overs when play resumed. Ten more runs were added to the total as Scorpions closed on 213/9 with Dennis Bulli on 15 not out and Nicholson Gordon on three not out.

Hosein and Narine were the pick of the Red Force players, grabbing 3/34 in ten overs and 3/30 in ten overs respectively.

As soon as Scorpions completed their innings the rain returned as Red Force did not get time to start their innings.

During one of the rain delays, a few of the Red Force players signed autographs and took pictures with students.

Red Force have already sealed a place in the semi-finals, but will play their final preliminary match on Sunday against Barbados Pride at Brian Lara Cricket Academy in Tarouba at 1 pm.

Up to press time on Thursday, the match between Pride and Leeward Islands Hurricanes was still in progress at Brian Lara Cricket Academy.

Summarised Scores:

JAMAICA 213/9 (48 overs) (Nkrumah Bonner 74, Rovman Powell 48; Sunil Narine 3/30, Akeal Hosein 3/34) vs TT RED FORCE. No result
