Workers collectively withdraw labour, work to rule or take other protest action, or a formal notice of such action is served.

What happened, in plain words

The mine workers union used its end of year statement to describe 2025 as a tumultuous year for mine workers. It said RioZim and Anjin had left workers unpaid for months and that workers downed tools at several mines. It also reported retrenchments, safety breaches and growing use of short fixed term contracts. The union said workers reaped poverty even as billions of dollars in minerals were exported.

Zimbabwe Diamond and Allied Minerals Workers Union end of year statement. Summary of many incidents rather than one event.

The rule this record had to meet

Workers collectively withdraw labour, work to rule or take other protest action, or a formal notice of such action is served.

Evidence required: A named union or worker group, the dates of the action or the notice, and the stated demands, from the union itself or an established publication.

Read thisWorkforce events are a record of what a named and citable source reported. They are not a census of job losses or job creation in Zimbabwe. Many changes in employment are never announced, and small employers are almost never reported at all, so the picture here leans towards large employers, listed companies, the public service and unionised sectors. Read the evidence link on any event before relying on it.
