Trade unions in Zimbabwe continue to be under fire from the Mugabi regime so UNI's UK Post & Logistics affiliate, the CWU, is supporting the Zimbabwe Post and Telecom affiliate, the Communications and Allied Services Workers' Union, through a union aid project set up by the UK TUC. The CWU is helping to finance the rent of the CASWZU office in Harare so the union can continue to have a home to operate out of.



Conditions for unions operating in Zimbabwe are extremely difficult with their members and officers subject to violence, harassment and often false criminal charges with for example, two Zimbabwean trade unionists Lovemore Matombo and Wellington Chibebe from the ZCTU, currently being prosecuted for ’spreading falsehoods prejudicial to the state.’



Many thanks go to the CWU for their support during the ongoing onslaught against democracy in Zimbabwe.
