CBU unionised workers to get salaries
SANFROSSA MANYINDA writes @SunZambianSALARIES for unionized workers at the Copperbelt University (CBU) started coming in yesterday, University Management has confirmed.On Monday, the workers resolved to suspend all academic activities until university management paid them their delayed November salaries together with their December salaries by Friday December 18, 2020.The workers also described as disappointing and demoralizing the delay of payments.According to university Management, government through the Ministry of Higher Education funded the institution last week and that all necessary paper work was in the process.CBU Vice Chancellor Naison Ngoma therefore expressed disappointment that the workers resorted to rushing to the media without consulting management.” These are serious matters that that need time to be dealt with correctly and not what we are seeing.” This is disappointing because the workers know very well how the process is done. How can they even demand for December salaries when they have not yet worked?” he said.He maintained that the process was working itself out and that salaries would start reflecting by the end of the day (yesterday).
