“We have been receiving numerous complaints from employees, our members, pertaining non-payment of wages and cash in lieu of leave and/or allowing them to go on vacation leave. Employees are going for five months without receiving their wages and your office is practically doing nothing,” ZISEGU. wroteThe union threatened to have the business certificates revoked.
