ZEGA workers down tools

Workers at the Zambia Export Growers Association ZEGA have downed tools demanding better working conditions.

The workers also want their Managing Director Don McDonald removed citing poor management of the company.

The workers action has paralysed some operations at the Kenneth Kaunda International Airport as the company handles ground operations at the institution.

The workers locked management out of the premises and several people who had turned up to collect their parcels were stranded.

Workers representative Mathews Njovu said the workers had also rejected a 3 per cent salary increment because it was not enough.

In response, Mr. McCDonald said the board is addressing the workers grievances.

  1. If you travel on saa or BA you will disembark the plane using stairs provided by zega. Cargo is also handled by zega. 

  2. PF what you have succeeded in 90 days is to instigate strikes everyday everywhere. You are driving us into a brick wall. You received this country with inflation at 7.8%.
