A strike by Air Zimbabwe pilots ended on Tuesday following an agreement by the Government to pay them about 67 percent of what they were owed.
The pilots downed tools at the beginning of this month demanding payment of salary and allowance arrears dating back to February last year. Representatives of the pilots hammered out a deal with officials from the Ministry of Transport.
Sources within the workers’ representatives said Government had agreed to release about US$4 million towards the payment of the salary arrears.
Recently, the Government had to bail out the cash-strapped national airline with US$400 000 after some of its workers attached property to recover salary arrears amounting to US$378 000.
Last year the pilots downed tools on two occasions over the arrears.
