Tuesday, November 24, 1998 Published at 16:32 GMT World: Africa Zimbabwe strike off Union leaders in Zimbabwe say they've called off a strike tomorrow, which had been planned as part of their continuing dispute with the government over wages, price rises and Zimbabwe's role in the war in Congo. The secretary general of the Zimbabwe Congress of Trade Unions, Morgan Tsvangirai, told the BBC the unions had been influenced by signals they'd received from the government and employers that they should continue negotiating. A meeting between unions, employers and the government is due to take place next Monday. The unions have already staged two one-day strikes this month. They've now broadened their demands to include a rescheduling of national debt, freedom of information and a new constitution. From the newsroom of the BBC World Service |
