The Federation of Free Trade Unions of Zambia (FFTUZ) has called on ministry of labour and Social Security Minister Joyce Simukoko to take President Edgar Lungu’s directives to speed up the process of revising the minimum wage.
Union President Chingati Msiska urged the labour ministry to expedite its assignment on workers’ new minimum wage in the country.
Mr. Msiska has told QTV news that there is a conscious fact of increasing the cost of living and the recognition to ensure a fair and decent living wage has rendered the minimum wage instrument obsolete.
He has noted that the minimum wage should be anchored on the principles of social justice, equity, and fairness.
