Civil servants plan to strike for their July salaries

Temperatures are once again high rising among restive civil servants amid indications that they could embark on another nationwide strike as early as next week if the stone broke government does not pay them their July salaries soon.

While civil service union leaders were careful not to come across as spoiling for a fight with the state-ahead of the announcement tomorrow of concrete pay dates for this month- they hinted that all hell could break loose if they were not paid on Monday.

This comes as public after Public Service,Labour and Social Welfare minister Prisca Mupfumira announced on Tuesday that the government was hoping to provide its workers with specific July pay dates by end day tomorrow.
