Communiqué
of the affiliate unions leadership workshop
Zimbabwe
Congress of Trade Unions (ZCTU)
June 29, 2007
We, the affiliate
union leadership of the Zimbabwe Congress of Trade Unions (ZCTU),
meeting at the Quality International Hotel in Harare on 28 and 29
June 2007 to, among other things, discuss the Kadoma Declaration
and;
- The general
economic outlook in Zimbabwe and its effects on the general workforce;
- Having explored
the nature and extent of the national crisis facing the economy;
- Shared experiences
on socio-economic development in the context of the ongoing crisis;
- Having discussed
and analysed labour obligations under the Kadoma Declaration,
and
Observing that;
- Other parties
to the Tripartite Negotiating Forum have signed the Kadoma Declaration,
- Only the
Prices and Incomes Stabilization Protocol has been signed by the
ZCTU,
Further observing
that;
- The ZCTU
has not signed the Kadoma Declaration,
- There is
no clear implementation mechanism of the Kadoma Declaration,
- There is
mismatch between policy and practical actions,
- There is
little commitment of social partners to the Kadoma Declaration
spirit, for example, irresponsible utterances,
We therefore
hereby recommend that:
- The General
Council endorse signing of the Kadoma Declaration,
- A clearly
spelt out Implementation process be developed with key roles played
by those who are part to the TNF,
- All parties
adhere to the fundamental principles and be committed to the obligations
outlined in the Kadoma Declaration.
Lovemore Matombo
President
