Facts of the Case
Background
The appellants were employed by the respondent and after the December 2013/January 2014 annual shutdown were told not to report for duty until work was available due to the respondent's viability problems caused by house demolitions in Chitungwiza. When recalled on 1 June 2014, the appellants did not report for duty and instead filed a complaint alleging unlawful termination and other labour violations.
