PRESS RELEASE

SUBJECT: ECONOMIC REFORMS HAVE FAILED; DOLLARISE AND PAY USD SALARIES

The ZCTU notes with grave concern the spectacular failure of economic reforms being implemented by government which have resulted in serious devaluation of the ZWL and therefore reiterates its call for the full dollarisation of the economy and payment of wages and salaries in USD to cushion workers from the economic implosion which has eroded earnings.
