Minister calls for united workforce front

JUSTICE and labour relations minister Wise Immanuel on Friday called for stronger collaboration between workers, employers and the government, saying such partnerships are essential to drive Namibia’s economic growth and social development. Speaking during the International Workers’ Day commemorations held at Opuwo in the Kunene region, Immanuel stressed that the country’s progress depends on a united and empowered workforce supported by effective social partnerships. “When a nation’s workforce is inspired, empowered and united, that nation becomes more progressive,” he said, adding that cooperation among all social partners is key to building a stable and productive labour market.
