# The National Union of Public Service and Allied Workers is calling on government to impose a moratorium on retrenchments to curb rising poverty. This comes as unemployment increased in the second quarter of 2024. The union warns that job cuts amid economic challenges could fuel crime. The union urges the government to abandon neoliberal policies, emphasising the need for a robust economic strategy to create jobs and address the plight of unemployed graduates.
