Workers at the upmarket Pamodzi Hotel have gone on strike demanding a 50 percent increase across the board.
The employees who downed tools this morning said they will not accept anything less than a K2000 increase.
Speaking on behalf on the employees Irvin Mwansa said the workers were being exploited with their expatriate colleagues getting more than the locals in terms of pay and other added incentives.
“We are not going to accept anything less than a 50 percent increase and as you know the expatriates here who do the same jobs we do get a lot of money.
“I will give you an example of an auditor of Indian origin who does nothing special but takes home in excess of K26, 000,” Mwansa said.
“On top of that they get education allowances and over time.”
Management have declined to comment reportedly locked up in an emergency meeting.
