Africa-Press – Namibia. <\/strong><\/span>Security guards play an important role in Namibia, as they assist police officers in reducing crime, a unionist has stated.<\/p>\n

Helvi Hamukoshi, regional coordinator for the Namibia Transport and Allied Workers Union (NATAU), therefore, called on stakeholders to join forces to assist in enhancing security guards\u2019 working conditions.<\/p>\n

She made these observations in Windhoek yesterday during the signing of an agreement between employers and employees.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is our responsibility to look after them so that they can perform their duties effectively. We don\u2019t want to learn that the security industry is being exploited, or that there is needless rivalry,\u201d she remarked.<\/p>\n

Hamukoshi said if companies cannot afford security guards, they should not solicit tenders, instead of not paying the workers.<\/p>\n

The agreement was signed by the Security Association of Namibia (SAN), NATAU, Namibia Security Guards Workers Union and the Namibia Independent Security Union.<\/p>\n

The collaboration follows SAN\u2019s withdrawal from the Namibia Security Labour Forum in 2017.<\/p>\n

Despite the break-up, the parties rekindled dialogue through meetings in March 2023, resulting in a collective decision to review and update the agreement.<\/p>\n

This constructive step paved the way for their return to the forum, signalling a commitment to fostering positive changes in the security industry.<\/p>\n

SAN president Dhiginina Uutaapama stated that the renewed commitment to the agreement is a collective determination to prioritise the well-being and working conditions of those dedicated to safeguarding communities.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis agreement signifies the convergence of diverse perspectives, bridging the gap between employer and employee interests, and endeavouring to create a harmonious working environment. Furthermore, this agreement underscores the dedication to fair labour practices, employee welfare and sustainable business practices,\u201d he noted.<\/p>\n

Uutaapama added that their commitment to health and safety extends to addressing all pertinent matters that affect the industry, fostering the well-being and security of all involved.<\/p>\n

This collaboration with recognised trade unions for the deduction of membership fees and the joint development of education and training programmes remains integral to their shared objectives.<\/p>\n
