Facts of the Case
Background
RioZim Limited unilaterally withdrew leave bonuses and allowances from grade 11-14 employees in March 2009 following dollarization. Employees claimed this constituted unfair labour practice in 2013, four years later. The employer argued the claim had prescribed and many respondents lacked locus standi.
