MDC-T’s disregard of labour laws appalling
EDITOR — MDC-T has disappointed and it is embarrassing to be associated with it.
Recently, the party suffered the ignominy of having party property attached by the sheriff, following failure by the party to honour salary and benefits arrears to the tune of US$1,1 million.
It is disgusting that as a purported labour movement, the MDC-T has failed to adhere to the country’s labour laws, which seek to protect the rights of workers.
MDC-T was launched on a ZCTU platform. It boggles the mind what power can achieve, surely it corrupts absolutely.
How the self-proclaimed champion of workers’ rights, Morgan Tsvangirai, can in a matter of a few years in politics, mutate into such a brazen workers’ rights abuser is mind-boggling — power corrupts absolutely.
The party management failed to ensure workers’ job security and dismally failed to improve the women’s conditions of service.
Last week, Harvest House was wiped clean of all property and was shut down as no business could be carried out without the attached property.
The MDC-T is broke because of leaders who have muddled priorities both politically, and financially. The leaders are bent on advancing selfish ends; it is a rude awakening for party supporters, no wonder the cries of donor fatigue who would invest in such a shambolic party.
The party should not only preach the human rights discourse, but should be seen to be observing human rights too. Prosperity Mzila, Mutorashanga.
