Public service workers in Mwinilunga have appealed to the new
Patriotic Front government to consider them for rural hardship allowance.
Zambia Congress of Trade Unions (ZCTU ) Mwinilunga
district branch Secretary, Paul Chitanti said this in an interview with ZANIS
in Mwinilunga today.
Mr. Chitanti said it was sad to note that some officers in other
rural districts are getting rural hardship allowance while those in Mwinilunga
are not getting despite Mwinilunga being a rural district.
He expressed hope that the new government will consider addressing
their plight since it is a listening government.
He said workers in the district were wondering why they are not
included on rural hardship allowance entitlement yet goods in the district are
far much more expensive than in districts near manufactures.
Mr Chitanti added that thermal electric power in the district is
not a 24 hour service resulting in workers facing a lot of hardships as their
minds loss concentration to work because they start looking for charcoal when
there is power outage.
