Medical Stores workers have been awarded a 10% salary increment.
Speaking during the signing of the collective agreement with the Natinal Union of Commercial and Industrial Workers in Lusaka today, Medical Stores Managing Sirector Dr. Boniface Fundafunda says the lowest paid unionized worker will get a basic salary of K3,310 with the highest paid getting K6,506 besides housing and transport allowances.
Dr. FundaFunda says though the expectations from the union were high, management has managed to give a reasonable pay review as a way of striking a balance between giving something to the unionized staff and keeping the company afloat.
He adds that though not enough, the increment will go a long way in motivating the staff.
Dr. Fundafunda has further congratulated the collective bargaining unit members both from the union and management for successfully conducting the negotiations.
And NUCIW General Secretary George Kanyata expressed gratitude to management for the increment awarded to the workers stating that it will go a long way in motivating the workers.
He adds that the signing of the collective agreement demonstrates management’s commitment towards the welfare of the employees.

@alenibane,Yes I can support u on this one,some senior civil servants have a basic pay of K30,000 when ours is about K5,000.A 20% increment will lead to a K36,000 to K6,000 outcome thus the gup btn the rich and the poor widening further.Government muletontonkanyako muli uyu musango otherwise we wont vote for u,

Govt and particulary the President and the minister of labour must take my advice very seriously cause this will have an effect on the election outcome.
When awarding salary increments to civil servants give a round figure across the board and not a percentage,some senior civil servants have a basic pay of K30,000 when ours is about K5,000.
For example a 20% increment will lead to a K36,000 to K6,000 outcome thus the gup between the rich and the poor will keep on widening further.
Government look into this issue seriously otherwise we wont vote for u
