Zimbabwe’s National Mine Workers Union called for higher wages and benefits for low-paid mining workers, arguing that earnings have lagged behind rising global mineral prices. Union president Lawrence Nhomboka urged a minimum monthly wage of US$1,200 for general workers and a doubling of production bonuses. He also pressed mining firms to introduce housing and education support, framing the demands as part of broader labor and social justice reforms.
