Labour and social security minister Fackson Shamenda has urged employees to change their negative attitudes towards work and put in their best for good of the nation.

During a tripartite consultative council meeting this morning, Mr.Shamenda says productivity is key to better results of any company and it should always be the first thing every worker needs to have in mind.

Mr. Shamenda says government does not want to see workers who fail to perform to the expectations of their employers but wants people to begin having good relations in places of work as government has done its best to protect the rights of all workers.

And Mr. Shamenda says employers should desist from condemning government’s policies but should participate in shaping up the country’s labour laws for the benefit all Zambians.

The labour and social security minister adds that there is need for all trade unions to stand firm to their principals and contribute positively where they feel things are not moving forward.

And speaking earlier, Federation of Free Trade Unions of Zambia president Joyce Nonde Simukoko appealed to government to speed up the process of coming up with the labour law reforms as the Patriotic Front government promised during the campaigns in the run up to 2011 general elections.

      So I really think I am more qualified to say something about this than anyone else

      Thanks

  1. Hon. Shemnda attitude niyamene now the problem which is discouraging is amount you get at the end of the day. Since you introduced minimum wage, i have not seen any labour officer to check whether minimum wage has been implemented.

  2. Mushota, I didn’t ask for your response for you to post such twaddle on my blog. Meet me in person and you will be ashamed of the ‘qualifications’ you keep boasting about. To give you a hint, I am associated with Oxford Brooks, and, not as a student so, be careful…

  3. Mushota.
    Your comments amaze me, not only are they out of context but also seem like coming from a mad person. You know that your Dad was an Honorable man, I knew him as a minster of Science and Technology but he did not Last MHSIP, he would be very disappointed with you insanity.
    You act like a mad person who wakes up and begin screaming and shouting haleluya, Juses Christ has come, only to realise that he referring to a fellow mad person. That is U…Llo .Those who have it do not say anything. after all you are not the first person to have those qualification you boast about. I can say you are lost sheep …you chose to advocate for dual citizenship, …if you really love to be where you are why cling another leg on the other side of the stream. No sense.

  4. Why am I seeing the details of another blogger by default in my reply box? This is not Chomba posting.
