Simukoko takes on Mukuka

Labor Minister Joyce Simukoko has challenged the Zambia Congress of Trade Unions (ZCTU) to substantiate its claim she is inciting workers against their employees.

Ms. Simukoko thinks that the ZCTU in its recent media briefing addressed by Secretary General Cosmas Mukuka misinterpreted what he recently said about the labor movement in Zambia.

simukokoIn an interview with QTV News Ms. Simukoko thinks Mr. Mukuka deliberately misinterpreted what she said only to suit himself.

Ms. Simukoko says what she in fact said in her recent statement was that the perception by people in Zambia is that the labor movement is weak.

She states that her idea therefore was that she meets with the ZCTU to appreciate what sort of challenges the union is going through.

Ms. Simukoko says she thus finds it unfair that Mr. Mukuka could have misinterpreted her statement notwithstanding his not having a good relationship with her.

She is of the view that if Mr. Mukuka was really a leader he would have called her and clarify what she said before going to the media and make false allegations.
