FINALLY, FEDERATIONS CAN NOW REGISTER
MBABANE – The long wait for the registration of federations is now over as the Ministry of Labour and Social Security has announced that they could now register.
‘The catch’, though is that those who wish to register should produce audited statements of the unregistered federations since their inception. Some of the organisations have been in existence for over 10 years.
amendment
Last year, all federations were ordered to cease operations to allow for the amendment of the Industrial Relations Act.
These included the Trade Union Congress of Swaziland (TUCOSWA), Federation of Swazi Business Community (FESBC) and the Federation of Swaziland Employers and Chamber of Commerce (FSE&CC).
The federations had been part of government’s tripartite alliance which consisted of government, workers and employers’ representatives. At the time, the Ministry of Labour and Social Security announced that this was done to accommodate new clauses or provisions for the registration of federations in the kingdom.
Yesterday, Winnie Magagula, the Minister of Labour and Social Security, said all those who wished to apply for registration as federations were invited to do so.
Magagula made the announcement during a press conference held at the ministry yesterday.
She said this was done as per the provision of the Industrial Relations (Amendment) Act 2014.
