Africa-Press – Zimbabwe. <\/strong><\/span>The Tripartite Negotiating Forum (TNF), which brings together government, business and labour, is expected to resume this week.<\/p>\n

TNF was initially established in 1998 as a voluntary platform but it was later legislated through the Tripartite Negotiating Forum Act of 2019.<\/p>\n

Public Service, Labour and Social Welfare Minister Paul Mavima, who chairs the TNF, said:<\/p>\n

We are going to have a task force meeting in Mutare this Tuesday before we convene a full TNF in two weeks.<\/p>\n

We work through various committees, each dealing with specific issues which they bring to the agenda of TNF.<\/p>\n

Zimbabwe Congress of Trade Union (ZCTU) secretary-general Japhet Moyo said that labour organisations were looking forward to the meeting. He said:<\/p>\n

The Government (which chairs the forum) officially wrote to us proposing that we constitute a task force to negotiate a social contract which then feeds into the main TNF.<\/p>\n

We are happy with the move. Our major concern is on the pricing of goods, low wages and incidences of dismissals of workers\u2019 representatives.<\/p>\n

Employers\u2019 Confederation of Zimbabwe (EMCOZ) president Demos Mbauya said:<\/p>\n

There is consensus within TNF that we need to convene and dialogue to come up with a social contract specifically to address the issue of economic stability.<\/p>\n

To that end, the economic cluster of the TNF will be meeting next week (this week) to start work on the social contract.<\/p>\n

We need to give dialogue and consensus-building around major economic policy interventions a chance. As business we are committed to playing our part.<\/p>\n

The main wing of TNF last met in April 2020 but the meeting ended prematurely when labour walked out in protest over the minimum wage.<\/p>\n

Labour had proposed that the minimum wage should be negotiated at the national level, while Government and business wanted sector-based negotiations.<\/p>\n
