National Railways of Zimbabwe (NRZ) has begun serving dismissal letters to striking workers. The workers have been on strike for 68 straight days today.
Said an insider to Bulawayo24.com, "NRZ is now serving part of the striking employees dismissal letters citing 7 days absent."
"Today its the 68th day since the beginning of the strike".
"At the moment we are waiting for court judgement on the disposal order hearing but NRZ has chose to take the law in its hands".
So far seven have been sacked in Gweru and one on Mutare.
This comes as Transport and Infrastructural Development Minister Joram Gumbo revealed last week that about 70 % of workers would be fired soon.
Gumbo said business environment has been harsh, hence urgent need to retrench.
