ZIMBABWE’S Communist Party has called for international action to support a global solidarity day called by the country’s trade-union confederation, amid government brutality and a deepening economic crisis.
The Zimbabwe Congress of Trade Unions (ZCTU) has called for progressive organisations and unions to hold solidarity activities in their own countries on September 23 and picket Zimbabwean consulates.
The call comes as unemployment in the formal sector rockets beyond 90 percent, the party said, amid a violent crackdown on opposition forces.
