Zimbabwe has approved a twelve dollar wage increase for bricklayers. This comes as inflation rate continues to increase, driven by a rise on basic commodities.

The Labour minister approved the collective bargaining agreement entered into between the National Employment Council for the Brick-making and Clay Products Employers Association and Brick-making and Clay Workers’ Union in December last year.

This development will see the lowest paid bricklayer earning one hundred and fifty five dollar a month from one hundred and forty three dollars.
