Zambian investors supervise workers with dogs - claim

She added that there is unemployment in Zambia, which has given power to employers to continue intimidating workers and threatening them with instant dismissals and redundancies.

Nonde said even the Zambian government is guilty because it continues to suppress workers' rights by victimising union leaders.
She said because of such tactics, union leaders grew cold feet and compromised the trust of their members by accepting deplorable conditions of service.
"These same trade union leaders in their desperate attempts to win elections in the labour movement use government apparatus to campaign," Nonde said. She added that such unionists could never be effective because they were responsible for the appalling working conditions in the first place.
