Newly-formed political group, the Poverty Liberation Movement (PLM), says civil servants should reject the US$75.00 COVID-19 allowance “nonsense”, saying it is government’s attempt to hoodwink workers.
In a statement issued this Thursday, PLM demanded that the government restores workers’ October 2018 salaries. The statement read:
A fortnight ago, on 4 June 2020, the Poverty Liberation Movement (PLM) announced at Zimbabwe Grounds in Highfield, Machipisa that workers should be paid in US$.
Having mobilised the entire spectrum of the working class, we knew that only a collective struggle would deliver on this demand.
Our reason was informed by the fact that it is now self-evident that the Zimbabwe dollar has become moribund and thus the market has rejected it.
