Job cuts haunt CMED

About 100 of the 250 CMED workers whose contracts were terminated last week under the wave of job cuts triggered by the Supreme Court's recent labour ruling have challenged their employer to reverse the decision alleging it was illegal.

The workers challenged the CMED through their lawyers Chakanyuka and Associates, saying the company must prove that the board and management chaired by Godwills Masimirembwa, which was appointed to run the affairs of the company, had approved the decision to terminate their contracts.

They demanded CMED to explain why they claimed their fleet management wing was under-performing when they had vast resources at their disposal.
