The National University of Science and Technology (NUST) has reversed the retrenchment of over 70 of its workers and reinstated them.
Reports suggest that some of the affected workers were summoned to the human resources office on May 30, and handed letters of retrenchment notifying them that May 31 was their last day of work.
However, in a notice, NUST Vice-Chancellor Professor Mqhele Dlodlo advised all the staff members who were affected during the Staff Rationalisation Exercise last month to return to work and continue their duties with immediate effect. Read the notice:
<blockquote>
The Vice Chancellor’s office wishes to advise that the Staff Rationalisation Exercise, which had resulted in some employees being laid off has been reversed with immediate effect.
All staff members who were affected should report for duty at their workstations.

2 120 workers retrenched in first half of 2017: ZCTU

The Zimbabwe Electricity Supply Authority is embarking on a restructuring exercise that will see a number of posts becoming redundant and 1 700 workers losing their jobs. ZESA employees who spoke to The Financial Gazette said that the posts of artisan assistants, drivers and lead artisans will be phased out.
National Energy Workers Union of Zimbabwe (NEWUZ) secretary general, Thomas Masvingwe, who is representing the workers on the pending job cuts, confirmed the development and said that artisan assistants had been reduced from a ratio of two to one to the current one to one per every artisan. 

However, ZESA Holdings public relations manager, Fullard Gwasira said that the company was not carrying out a restructuring exercise but said that they were conducting a redeployment exercise that will see staff being moved 
to new areas which would have been identified.

1 700 workers set to lose jobs as ZESA embarks on restructuring exercise

Between 1 700 and 2 000 workers may lose their <a href="https://vacancymail.co.za/categories/health-medical-nursing-fitness-jobs-in-south-africa/">jobs</a> as the Zimbabwe Electricity Supply Authority (ZESA) restructures. Workers at the power company, are alleging that ZESA Holdings is denying that it is carrying out a restructuring exercise.
National Energy Workers Union of Zimbabwe (NEWUZ) wrote to the Energy National Employment Council saying:
<blockquote>Surprisingly, on the 3rd of April 2017, the claimant learnt through memos addressed to its members that the respondent was actually on the advanced stage of the restructuring exercise, which will result in the loss of 1 700 to 2 000 jobs. Despite the assurances made by the respondents, they have unilaterally proceeded with their unlawful exercise. Consequently a labour dispute has arisen wherein this tribunal is clothed with jurisdiction to urgently resolve the matter</blockquote>
Zesa Holdings have maintained that it will not be laying off people with ZESA Holdings public relations manager, Fullard Gwasira saying:
<blockquote>The ZESA group is not embarking on a retrenchment exercise at the moment, and has not given any such notice as is required by the Labour Relations Act. No <a href="https://vacancymail.co.za/categories/hospitality-hotel-catering-tourism-travel-jobs-in-south-africa/">jobs</a> are being lost. The Labour Act clearly emphasises the need to consult staff before any retrenchment exercise is embarked on. As part of the process to align staff structures to the prevailing business model, the company regularly examines its manpower charts. This process identifies areas of over and under staffing. The company then subsequently aligns its staffing to the business strategy. This process may entail moving staff to new areas which would have been identified. For example, the advent of prepaid meters has negated the meter-reading function, and staff in these portfolios is being redeployed in line with the current strategy.</blockquote>

Up to 2 000 workers set to lose jobs at ZESA

The Zimbabwe Independent reports that 9 000 workers were retrenched in 2015 and 2016 as it emerged that 26 companies have retrenched workers this month.
In an interview with the publication, Zimbabwe Congress of Trade Unions (ZCTU) secretary-general Japhet Moyo said a total of 8 843 workers were retrenched in 2015 and 2016. Said Moyo:
<blockquote>In 2015, 5 333 workers were retrenched and this does not include those who were affected by the July 17 Supreme Court ruling that year which allowed employers to dismiss workers on three months’ notice,” Moyo said. “In 2016, there were 3 510 workers who were retrenched which brings the total to more than 8 500 which is a huge figure if you look at the size of our economy and the level of unemployment.</blockquote>
Moyo said last year’s retrenchments were lower than in 2015 but however highlighted that the figure could be much more as several companies did not register their layoffs. The ZCTU secretary-general also revealed that between the 1st and 19th of this month, 26 companies have retrenched workers as revealed at the Retrenchment Board’s first meeting last week on Thursday.
