Africa-Press – Malawi. <\/strong><\/span>President Lazarus Chakwera has called on companies and organisations which retrenched workers, or reduced workers\u2019 salaries due to Covid-19, to re-employ the retrenched workers or adjust upwards the reduced salaries.<\/p>\n

Chakwera made the call in Mzuzu on Sunday when he presided over the 2022 World Labour Day commemorations held under the theme: Workers Rights; a Prerequisite for Inclusive Development.<\/p>\n

Chakwera also appealed for unity between workers and their employers in order for the country to achieve the MW2063 whilst assuring the workers of protection against any form of harassment.<\/p>\n

\u201cA good working relationship and positive working environment motivates both workers and employers,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Malawi Congress of Trade Unions (MCTU) President, Charles Kumchenga, alleged that some employers have been taking advantage of the Covid-19 pandemic to retrench workers.<\/p>\n

He said MCTU will continue lobbying financial institutions to be providing short term loans to companies to help them as they recover from Covid-19 related losses.<\/p>\n

Labour Day which is commemorated worldwide on 1st May annually, provides an opportunity for workers both in the formal and informal sectors to come together and celebrate their rights.<\/p>\n
