The Zambia Union of Financial Institutions and Allied Workers (ZUFIAW) has advised unionized employees of Finance Bank Zambia Limited not to sign any resignation letter and sign new offer of employment with First National Bank Zambia Limited.
ZUFIAW General Secretary Joyce Simukoko tells QFM in a statement that the workers should not sign any contract with FNBZ until his union and the managements of FBZL and FNBZ constitute a bargaining unit that would agree on the terms of termination of employment with Finance Bank Zambia and the new terms of employment offers by First National Bank Zambia.
Mrs Simukoko says ZUFIAW is already in contact with the managements of FNBZ and FBZL on the way forward on the issue.
She has since appealed for calm from all unionized workers.
The Bank of Zambia has sold most of Finance Bank Zambia%u2019s assets to First National Bank of South Africa for K27 billion.
QFM
thats very good .this time around you are not endorsing PF ..hahahahah..
That is vigilance, madam Secretary!
Pulamasaka you are an *****. How does PF come in this matter. No wonder yo debating of real issues is childish, even my grade 2 child can not respond the way u have responded. Grow up or dont show your foolishness on this site.
Mambilima you are equally foolish whats wrong with the statement on a known cadre. PF fool!
These guys are gonna get pay rises. Well done ZUFIAW.
This is why you were created. I hope MUZ can learn from you.
We dont need hate crimes. We just need to discuss issues.
@ Honest Zambian,
continue dreaming, ine nshakubushe, i dont want to disturb ur dreams! (And I dont think God ever CREATED ZUFIAW, but some people FORMED it).
@mrs mambilima,
easy yourself mayo, kuti mwafwa na BP! fima politics fye ifi. by the way, are u, by any chance, in the central committee? just curious
Good stance Mayo.We need people who can stand on their feet for Zambia
nanga imwe ba joyce nonde when r u signing your letter of resignation…an unemployed retiree representing the employed,ata
Imwe ba Nonde, since when did emplopyers in Zambia ever listen to Unions? What chance have we got these employers will simply say sign or we will get another person in your position? Remember what Don Chi Chi did to doctors in was it 2000?
Once the termination of emplyment conditions are agreed, signed and honoured; the onus is on the employer to employ only people with the right qualifications that are worthy of the vacancies. I do not see how any reasonale employer will employee an unqualified person who was serving previously in a position just because he was related to the shareholder. You can never run avoid redundnacies when there is a change of ownership in any company. Usually, The chairman, MD, CEO, FD, CFO and other directors will go not mention their unqualified relations.
What is the difference between reading the news and campaigning for MMD for ZNBC…News hovers around MMD campaigns and is laced with irritating MMD adverts. How can you have a medical person in front of a seemingly disused “modern hospital” or a woman trading outside of a “modern market” without other vendors trading around her or a 10% filled classroom of college students seating on primary school benches…Imagination seems to be rare these days…
Tic,tic, tic……..time is taking us there.4 days to go and no more debate.Look at the desparation of the Post and PF. They are now running out sense completely. Appealing to the authority of the first republican president will not help. It’s the people of Zambia that we should appeal to. Creating all sorts of lies and complaints are all signs of desparation and lack of ideas. People thought Sata , Mmembe ,Guy were wise but now their collusion is proving to be breft of sense. worsening the situationfor them. Now,as a consequense of doing things senselessly Cold season June Kabimba is being compelled to pay six billion Kwacha…More misery…..next house will be grabbed.
Membe and his little paper the post his fatso lawyer mate and the entire Mupombo, Mulongoti, Shakafuswa, Patrick, Masebo, Chitala led minnow campaign comes crumbling down..Membe and his cohorts mistimed the race..they fell into the old trap..they under-estimated the enemy…big mistake..noone fore saw just how much resources and campaign energy MMD would put in..the results are significant..itsa sea of blue everywhere with the Nkoloko and smiling RB at the fore..makes everyone else look cheap..we should have kept the PACT…SIGH.
Whats up with Zambia and Banks always opening and closing down?????? FNB is one of the best banks in South Africa though, I hope it will be in Zambia too
Number 14 you are very right.FNB is a powerful bank in SA,Namibia and Botswana.They know how to attract business hope Z issues will not make them get profits and close doors!
Joyce Nonde is a lair. She has not spoken to any of the organisations she is claiming to be tallking to she has in fact dodged meetings with the same FBZ and FNB. So now she wants to be hero that she is lookign out for the unionised members. There is no bargaining unit that will negotiate salaries because these members are not being transferred from FBZ which will cease to exist as it is. ZUFIAW has done very little for FBZ workers over the years look at the poor conditions. she must tell us who at FBZ and FNB she has spoken to!
Good advice!!
Linsy @ # 10, That is a very good comment. To add on. I do not think most of the employees fron FBZ will be employed by FNBZ because they were corruptly employed. Corruption and nepotism are the order of the day in Zambia. FNBZ is still an island in a sea of Zambian corruption.
I think that FNB is being forced to offer jobs to all FBZ employees no matter their qualifications which is a pity really and now we hearing that someone in FBZ has appointed himself as the chairperson and written and email to the acting MD and other bosses that they are insulted by the offer from FNB (which is better than what they have) and won’t be signining but what they don’t understand is that FNB offer is only for 7 days thereafter I think they will be free to recruit from outside so maybe FNB can still get better employees! We are all waiting.
FBZ people don’t seem to understand that standard offer letters have a deadline to accept or not and with all this they are now sending emails to acting MD that they are not signing because they are insulted by the offer which is much better than they have. So tick tock clock is ticking and then they will still be FBZ employees which no longer exists. Joyce has not negotiated an extension to the response period for the offer its 7 days i am told not one month!
