About 70 sacked National Railways of Zimbabwe ( NRZ) former employees who were dismissed on three months notice have stormed the railway firm Headquarters in Bulawayo.
They are enquiring "peacefully" on their outstanding 10 month Terminal Benefits.
"There are many of the agreements in the unilaterally imposed payment plan by Management which they have failed to honour," said one of the affected former worker to Bulawayo24.com.
This comes a day after they dismissed the government's claims that they have been paid their outstanding salaries as false, saying they were only given money ranging from $150 to $350 per worker last Thursday, in what their employer said was to "cushion" them against economic hardships."
Transport Minister Jorum Gumbo urged workers, who downed tools last March in protest over unpaid salaries dating back 15 months, to return to work, saying $3 million was recently availed for their salaries.
