The Organisation of Mozambican Workers Central Sindical (OTM-CS) is holding its seventh congress today and Thursday, at a time when the labour legislation in Mozambique is under review.
Precarious employment and redundancies are the issues that most concern workers, the union’s Samuel Matsinhe says, calling for broad participation in the debate about the new law.
The proposed new legislative, he noted, contains legal provision for small and medium-sized enterprises to keep workers on fixed-term employment contracts for as long as ten years.
In other words, “we are looking at mass redundancies, since it is easy to dismiss workers”. Matsinhe contends that, when confronted with any difficulty, the first thing that will happen, before any other means has been tried, is that the labour force will be dismissed.
The congress will elect new governing bodies and revise its statutes, Matsinhe added.
The Mozambican Workers’ Organisation Central Sindical has 180,000 members.
