This paper analyses the effectiveness of Tanzania Union of Industry and Commerce
(TUICO) in the implementation of the labour laws in Tanzania where three firms
were used as a case study. The study found that the role of TUICO is well known,
however, stakeholders feel that the union has not performed satisfactory.
It was observed that some of the factors that hamper TUICO in the implementation
of the law include: shortage of funds, negative attitude of employers, lack of
education among union members and lack of committed unionist who put their
interest before that of the union.
The study concluded that, most of trade unionists are lacking negotiation skills due to
their level of education, employers are also obstacle to TUICOs performance, and the
Government has not yet enforced law to employers who act contrary to the law.
The study recommended TUICO to train its members especially in negotiation skills,
also the Government was urged to administer and enforce the law effectively,
employers on the other side was advised to consider trade unions as development
partners and not enemies. |
