A proposed revision of the Mozambican labour law presented by the government on Wednesday extends the degree of kinship for the assignment of five days of bereavement leave.
Parents-in-law and sons and daughters-in-law have been added to the list of relatives which already includes spouses, parents, children, stepchildren, siblings, grandparents and step-parents.
The proposal was presented to employers and trade unions in Maputo by the Ministry of Labour, Employment and Social Security.
Elsewhere, the proposal adds transport, hospitality and catering, general and food retailing to the sectors whose services are considered essential, meaning that in the case of a strike, workers in those sectors would be required to ensure the provision of minimum services, as already applies to medical services, water supply, energy and fuels and telecommunications.
The proposal for revision also provides that labour disputes would be subject to “labour mediation, before being submitted to arbitration or labour courts, except in cases of precautionary measures”.
The law is still in the consultative phase.
