FIXED telecommunications operator, TelOne is in the process of laying off 423 of its workers, the majority of whom still had Grade 7 and Zimbabwe Junior Certificate (ZJC) as highest qualification in their CVs.
The state firm is keen on having technologically skilled employees in its payroll to match a highly competitive digital world.
The affected employees have, through their unions, raised the red flag against what they find to be an unfair labour decision surrounding their fate.
But company head of corporate communications, Melody Harry told NewZimbabwe.com Friday the workers being targeted for the chop did not possess even Ordinary Level qualifications and the relevant technological skills required to turn around the company’s fortunes.
