Disgruntled former employees of the Zimbabwe United Passenger Company (Zupco) in Bulawayo have taken a stand against the company’s management over unpaid salaries and allowances dating back to 2022.
In an effort to address their grievances and seek justice, the ex-workers have petitioned the National Employment Council for Transport Operators Industry (NECPT) to intervene on their behalf.
“They (management) keep giving us false promises” one of the affected employees said.
It is further alleged that the former workers were not given Covid-19 allowances.
“We were not given Covid allowances as promised and we were told that bonuses for 2022 would only be given to those who remained at work yet we worked the whole year,” another affected employee said.
NECPT finance regional manager Ephias Kwenda declined to comment and referred source to the Zupco chief executive officer Tineyi Rwasoka.
Efforts to get comments from him were fruitless.
