Federation of Free Trade Unions of Zambia says government should engage stakeholders on key issues that affect the nation and workers.

(FFTUZ) general secretary Fernando Fulwe said it is practically difficult to attain the national goals in the absence of partnership or interlink of stakeholders.

Mr Fulwe said social dialogue is an effective instrument of good governance for the achievement of desired goals.

Speaking during Kabompo district Labour Day commemorations today, Mr Fulwe said though economic development can enable overcome poverty there are still millions of people that lack decent work and employment opportunities.

He said government should implement development oriented policies that can create decent jobs for all.

Mr Fulwe said government should avoid squeezing the workers earnings but should put the labour movement on the agenda in order to realize the country’s agenda.

“Fellow workers while we demand decent work for all workers, we want this decent work agenda to be achieved on principles of social dialogue as this is an effective instrument of good governance for the achievement of decent work at work place and at national level,” he said.

Mr Fulwe further condemned the harassment and intimidation of trade union officials and members because of exercising their trade union and constitutional right to freedom of association.
