FROM INBOX | Hello, Zimbabwe... please don't out me. Thanks for posting that one about National Handling Services (NHS). I work there. I have been a student trainee for three years now, earning a peanut salary of USD 60 a month... for almost three years. The company is resorting to cheap labor, and they don't pay workers at all. About ¾ of workers are graduate trainees who were promised jobs after completing the training, but then NHS didn't deliver as promised.
Trainees are being exploited by that company, and they don't pay us. Today is the 2nd of April, and all workers received their salaries way before March 31st, but up to now, trainees haven't received anything. To make matters worse, we have been working without contracts. HR says operations management didn't initiate our contract signing, then operations would say it's HR.
That's what is happening at this very big company, a parastatal, to make matters worse. I don't know if government entities should be doing that and exploiting youths all in the name of "we will give you jobs."
Trainee baggage handlers, who load all aircraft here at NHS, get peanuts despite working 17-hour shifts... but no contract, no salaries. As I write right now, the trainees have no contracts and were not paid. But they are forced to come to work and perform the same duties as everyone else.
