BUSINESS and labour representatives have clashed over the proposal to set a national minimum wage in a bid to cushion workers whose concerns may not be addressed through their respective National Employment Councils (NECs).
The matter is currently under discussion at the Tripartite Negotiating Forum (TNF) – a social dialogue platform which brings together government, business and labour representatives.
Speaking to NewZimbabwe.com Business Monday, Zimbabwe Congress of Trade Unions (ZCTU) secretary general, Japhet Moyo said labour was pushing for the move in a bid to cushion the neglected and vulnerable workers.
“We are not taking away the bargaining powers of the NECs per se. Those doing better just like the case with enterprise level would negotiate and improve on the level set at the national level.

THE Tripartite Negotiating Forum (TNF), which was legislated in June 2019 amid pomp and fanfare, faced major hurdles last year mainly over the issue of wages as other partners accused the government of failing to take them seriously.
The TNF is a social dialogue platform that brings together government, business and labour to negotiate key socioeconomic matters. It has been in existence since 1998 initially as a voluntary and unlegislated chamber in which socioeconomic matters were discussed and negotiated by the partners.
Zimbabwe Congress of Trade Unions secretary-general Japhet Moyo told businessdigest that they were frustrated over the failure by the government to consult over policies it put in place which have a bearing on employers and workers.
