The grain procurer this year set aside US$6,3 million as retrenchment packages for about 2 000 workers who are set to voluntarily exit the GMB. As of October this year, 749 employees had been laid off.
GMB general manager Mr Albert Mandizha said compulsory retrenchment would commence next year.
“To date we have 785 employees who have been voluntarily retrenched. We are going to revisit the retrenchment process in January and map out compulsory retrenchment,” he said.
