“Trade Union is a very important organisation whose main aim is to bring industrial peace at a workplace. A place that does not hold talks with its workforce is not a healthy environment. Management should be able to engage the workforce for their contributions.” Those words were said by the president of Hotel Food Processing and Catering Workers union on 1st August 2023 at the head office of Ekhaya Group of Companies at Makata Industrial site. Ekhaya is a fast growing organisation which has several food marts and a hotel in Mangochi. They also own a farm at Njuli. Present during the meeting with the union were the group Human Resources Manager and the Executive Assistant. With the president were the General Secretary and Regional organizer for the south.
The management promised to come back to the union after discussing with the other members of management.
