Incomes
Protect jobs if you want to protect incomes.
Employers are taking advantage of the weakness in the labour law to cheat employees. By placing permanent contract with fixed term contacts.
Review of National labour laws
Review National labour laws To protect jobs and income.
Adopt wage policy that indexes wages to inflation that’s why labour requested for 60% but was given 30% at a time when inflation was 53% .
The 30% actually appears substantially but in real times workers have suffered significant decline in real income.
Permanent solution is for inflation to come down.
If inflation remains high organise labour will demand wages increase that reflects inflation and high cost of living
That is the only way to guarantee a living wage and for workers
