Facts of the Case

Background

The applicant employees engaged in a labour dispute with their employer over signing new employment contracts following Zimbabwe Dollar (ZWL) falling into disuse. They refused to sign new USD contracts when invited by the employer. A similar group (Nyoni group) had already taken their case to the Supreme Court, which found that failure to sign new contracts amounted to employees putting themselves out of employment.
