Dear Editor- Simbisa Brands workers over the years have been complaining about low salaries and poor working conditions.

For any country’s economy to grow, workers play a major role as they provide the much-needed labor.

But in Simbisa Brands workers say they are not happy with the way they are being remunerated in a nation gripped by poverty whilst they make millions of profits.

Year after year, Simbisa workers complain of poor remuneration and working conditions.
The supervisors , complains too that top company officials are living large while the majority of the workers are struggling to make ends.

One of Chicken Inn chefs says that workers will stop complaining when the company system improves and people are able to sustain their lives.

Pizza makers argue that the company must respect its social contract with its worker by ensuring that workers are adequately paid as most of them are living below the poverty datum line of almost $RTGs340 per month for a family of six.

According to Mr Moyo, the finance director of Simbisa Brands it has been a long time since tripartite negotiations were held between top management and workers.

He says this has led to the current poor working conditions and low workers’ salaries.

Simbisa Brands workers held a meeting on Friday and they didn’t agree on anything. Instead the HR department started firing and suspending all those who said a word in that meeting.

In response all workers are going to have a sit in at 5 Avenue Complex on the 23rd of December.-Annoyed One
