Zimbabwe recently signed its Decent work country program 2022-2026. The program aims to improve both the quality and quantity of employment, eradicate violence and harassment in the world of work, and improve working conditions in the informal and rural economies among others.

The International Workers Day is a day we raise our flag higher, as we take a moment to recognize and celebrate the role of Workers in the attainment of an upper-middle-income society by 2030.

Meanwhile, labour unions say workers in Zimbabwe face a number of challenges, including low wages that do not reflect the value of their work, high unemployment rates, poor working conditions, and a lack of job security.

They say many workers are also denied their basic rights, such as the right to form or join a trade union and face discrimination based on factors such as gender, ethnicity, or political affiliation.

Additionally, there have been reports of forced labour and exploitation in some industries, particularly in the mining sector. The high cost of living and inflation has also made it difficult for workers to make ends meet.

These challenges have led to protests and strikes by workers across the country, calling for better working conditions, wages, and respect for their rights.
