WEIEA works closely with key partners to advance fair labour practices, including:
National Employment Council for The Welfare & Educational Institutions
National Employment Councils are mandated with the responsibility of advancing social justice and democracy in the workplace by ensuring adherence to fair labour practices. They are a bipartite labour body comprising of Employer and Employee organisations specifically dealing with labour-related issues in a specific industry or sector.
NEC’s are formed by an Employers association (in this case WEIEA) and a Union (in this case (ZEHSSCWU) as a neutral party were labour disputes are settled and working conditions including remuneration are set.
