Africa-Press – Mozambique. <\/strong><\/span>Employees of Correios de Mo\u00e7ambique in Maputo city are on strike and demanding compensation for the company\u2019s liquidation. The strikers say that the management of the state-owned postal service and the Institute for the Management of State Holdings (IGEPE) promised to pay them, but never actually met the workers.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey are giving us retirement letters, and this money is not fair,\u201d complained Constantino Vasco, a former employee.<\/p>\n

What would be fair, the 350 workers say, would be the payment of compensation for their years of work.<\/p>\n

\u201cI worked at the Mozambique Post Office for 23 years. They even robbed me. I completed 23 years of work six months ago and this is not on the document. When the government spoke, it said that none of the workers would lose their rights and we would have everything, but now they are giving us the letters telling us to stay at home without the thirteenth salary and holiday allowance from last year. I need to go home with the compensation money,\u201d Vasco says.<\/p>\n

Strikers say that Correios de Mo\u00e7ambqiue is sending workers retirement documents telling them to remain at home, where they will be informed about subsequent steps.<\/p>\n

But the workers think otherwise.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf it is the company that says it is being wound up, first it would have had to organize for the workers to be at home with their due payments and not to be waiting for the promise of a company that today announces its extinction, not by the will of the workers, but by itself,\u201d observes S\u00e9rgio Manhi\u00e7a, another Correios de Mo\u00e7ambique employee.<\/p>\n

The workers claim that they made several requests to meet the Institute for the Management of State Holdings (IGEPE) and with the Correios de Mo\u00e7ambique liquidation commission, but without success.<\/p>\n

\u201cAt no time did the government or company management come to meet the trade union committee and explain how the process of releasing workers, payment of compensation and regularisation of retirement pensions would unfold. Now, we have started receiving documents disassociating us from the company, but with no commitment on the part of the company regarding when we will receive our compensation. In the meantime, the company still owes workers who have not been paid the thirteenth salary and for holidays in 2021,\u201d another employee, Ivanilda Madede, explained.<\/p>\n

Some workers, however, think they know when they will receive their salaries.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have already started to receive the letters, those of us who are up there (in management), but they only say that this month we will receive pay at the Post Office, and next month it will be at the Finan\u00e7as [Finance bureau]. But we have been working for many years. It\u2019s a life and our youth which ended here. We are not against the company, but it is our right. Something to survive,\u201d employee Florinda Meca says.<\/p>\n

Correios de Mo\u00e7ambique was created as a state company in 1981 as a result of the separation of postal and telecommunications services from the Postal, Telegraph and Telephone (CTT) company inherited from the colonial era.<\/p>\n

Corrios de Mo\u00e7ambqiue went from state company to public company \u2013 an entity with administrative, financial and assets management autonomy \u2013 in September, 2002.<\/p>\n

In May 2021, the decree liquidating Correios de Mo\u00e7ambique was approved by the government.<\/p>\n

Two weeks later, IGEPE met the company and laid down that the termination process should be concluded within 18 months and that a liquidation commission would be created for that purpose.<\/p>\n

The Correios de Mo\u00e7ambique liquidation commission is composed of a chairman, Raimundo Jorge Matule, and two members, Adriana Pedro Rafael Miranda and S\u00e9rgio Armando Malo Matavele.<\/p>\n
