Unions representing workers in Zimbabwe say Workers’ Day or Labour Day, has turned into a day to lament their “slavery” because of poor pay and working conditions.
In separate interviews with <a href="https://www.newsday.co.zw/local-news/article/200026323/workers-day-turned-into-slave-day">NewsDay</a>, workers’ unions said the commemorations had lost meaning as employees live from hand to mouth.
Zimbabwe Congress for Trade Unions (ZCTU) national organiser, Michael Kandukutu, said:
<blockquote>
We used to have Workers Day celebrations maybe 15 years ago but now it is just commemorations of employees’ problems. It is a lamentation day for workers’ problems.
Working has failed to transform the lives of workers. We have workers who cannot afford what they are producing.
</blockquote>
Progressive Teachers Union of Zimbabwe secretary-general Raymond Majongwe said:
<blockquote>
As far as we are concerned salaries have gone down, conditions of service have not improved and it’s indeed an insult to us.
As far as we are concerned, May Day is a day we are supposed to celebrate, but we cannot celebrate slavery.
</blockquote>
Zimbabwe Union of Journalists secretary-general Perfect Hlongwane said:
<blockquote>
It’s a pity that journalists should be celebrating Workers Day, a day we look back and take stock of what has been achieved but if you do a scan of the environment or what is obtaining on the ground you will realise that journalists are some of the people who are least paid in the country.
This has taken away the professionalism that we are supposed to see in the sector. Sadly, nothing is being done to fix the issue of remuneration.
</blockquote>
Zimbabwe Confederation of Public Sector Trade Unions chairperson, David Dzatsunga, said:
<blockquote>
In other countries when you are in public service, working for the government you are up there in terms of earnings but in Zimbabwe it’s different, we have become a laughing stock.
</blockquote>
Zimbabwe Association for Doctors for Human Rights (ZADHR) said:
<blockquote>
In commemorating this day, ZADHR laments the state of our public health delivery system and the exposure of health professionals to harm in their line of duty.
For years, health workers in Zimbabwe have clamoured for a healthy service and healthy workplace that promotes and protects their rights through strengthening infection control protocols and associated provisions for infection control such as personal protective equipment.
</blockquote>
The Federation of Zimbabwe Educators Unions (FOZEU) urged trade unions to unite in the fight for better wages for all workers. Said FOZEU:
<blockquote>
FOZEU, therefore, calls for the immediate creation of a viable alternative platform genuinely representing the hopes and aspirations of workers.
Progressive unions in and outside the ZCTU are urged to come together and create a genuine labour centre for the workers of Zimbabwe and give the workers another fighting chance.

Zimbabwean Workers Says Labour Day Has Transformed Into Slavery Day

The Zimbabwe Republic Police (ZRP) has barred workers from “toyi-toying” on roads or streets during Workers Day commemorations this Wednesday, 01 May 2024.
Toyi-toyi is a dance accompanied by spontaneous chanting during demonstrations, which may include political slogans or songs, either improvised or previously created.
In a statement issued on Tuesday, 30 April, the ZRP said it will not allow workers to “toyi-toyi” on the streets “under the guise of commemorating the Workers Day.”
The police said workers should go straight to the venues or stadiums where commemorations for the Workers’ Day will be taking place. The ZRP said:
<blockquote>
On 01/05/2024, Zimbabwe will join other nations to commemorate Workers Day throughout the country. Labour organisations and workers from all parts of the country are expected to gather at various venues to commemorate Workers Day.
The ZRP implores all labour organisations and workers to hold the commemorations in a peaceful manner. In the same vein, the Police will not allow any form of toyi–toyi, processions or marching on the streets under the guise of commemorating the Workers Day.
What it means is that members of the public or workers should go straight to the venues or stadiums where commemorations for the Workers Day will be taking place.
</blockquote>
In Zimbabwe, Workers’ Day is a public holiday, yet the majority of workers in the informal sector do not observe it, much like most other public holidays, as they struggle to make a living in a challenging economic environment.

No "Toyi-toyi" On Workers Day - ZRP

Nelson Chamisa, former leader of the Citizens’ Coalition for Change (CCC), has said a nation’s dignity lies in the dignity of its working people, who serve as its heroes.
Despite not revealing his next political steps since leaving the CCC in January this year, Chamisa assured Zimbabwean workers that change is imminent.
In a statement commemorating the 2024 Workers’ Day on this Wednesday, May 1st, Chamisa highlighted the harsh reality: over 80% of the working population in Zimbabwe remains unemployed. He said:
<blockquote>
Strikingly, 3.5 million youths are unemployed while 7.9 million people live in extreme poverty. The majority live below the poverty datum line of US$575, while average wages at US$275 fall short of meeting basic needs.
Punitive tax thresholds, starting at US$100, leave little to support families, where a basket of basic goods is six times higher than the minimum wage.
Every worker deserves to thrive in an inclusive Zimbabwe where everyone has access to fair and dignified employment opportunities and a balanced work environment.
</blockquote>
Chamisa asserted that if elected, his government will ensure that the Tripartite Negotiating Forum (TNF) will be the prime policy formulation platform and that no public policy will be implemented without passing through the TNF.
The TNF is a social dialogue platform that was established to facilitate consultation, cooperation, and negotiation on social and economic issues among three key partners: Government, organised business, and organised labour. Said Chamisa:
<blockquote>
We will immediately grant public sector workers the right to collective bargaining by ratifying and domesticating ILO Convention 151.
We will re-establish a living minimum wage through social dialogue. We will allow workers to demonstrate and demand their rights.
The idea of an inclusive Zimbabwe free from poverty, corruption and oppression is the aspiration of all the citizens of Zimbabwe.
In a Zimbabwe free from poverty, corruption and oppression, the fruits of labour shall translate into economic progress for all.
Every family shall have the chance to prosper, and the benefits of hard work shall enrich the entire nation.
In a corruption-free Zimbabwe, the fruits of labour will fuel economic progress and boost economic prosperity, benefiting all families.
Workers deserve the freedom to freely choose a government that serves them, making the resolution of the August 2023 disputed elections a crucial step towards recognizing workers’ rights.
</blockquote>
Chamisa said the current ZANU PF-led government is unelected, therefore illegitimate and incapable of responding effectively to workers’ demands.
He said there is a need to collectively resolve the “broken politics, disputed elections and contested presidential office.”

Workers Of Zimbabwe, Change Is Coming - Chamisa

Joint statement by the Minister of Transport and Infrastructure Development Felix Mhona (MP) and Minister of Home Affairs and Cultural Heritage Kazembe Kazembe urging motorists to exercise caution during the Workers’ Day holiday:
<blockquote>
With the Workers’ Day holiday upon us, many people will want to commemorate this day with family and friends. Road safety has a sharper focus during this period with more people travelling to various holiday destinations to spend this day with their families.
Motorists are urged to make their holiday journeys safer and smarter by preparing well and making the right choices.
This is a special time for our nation, and no holiday should be marred by a road crash that could be easily avoided.
Government would also like to appeal to operators of public service vehicles and private motorists not to use defective and unroadworthy vehicles.
Operators are also strongly urged to desist from the habit of over-working their drivers which results in driver fatigue.
Drivers should stick to regulated speed limits, as speeding is one of the major causes of fatal road crashes. Driving under the influence of alcohol is a punishable offence and is totally unacceptable.
It is Government’s fervent hope that we shall all strive to make this year’s Workers’ Day holiday accident-free by exercising extreme caution and adhering to all the traffic laws.
Let us sustain the momentum of the low rate of road crashes that we experienced during the recent Easter and Independence Holidays.
To further prevent traffic deaths and injuries, the Zimbabwe Republic Police and the Vehicle Inspectorate Department will be participating in joint enforcement operations throughout the Workers’ Day holiday period and during the forthcoming re-opening of the second school term.
Our Traffic Safety Council will also undertake road safety awareness campaigns to persuade road users to make their own contribution towards road safety.
