15M kids still in labour.

Nigeria made promises, but poverty, greed & weak enforcement persist.

Unions are right: end child labour by lifting up families, not just writing laws.

In Tanzania, domestic workers mostly women are rising to demand recognition.

They are cleaners, carers, cooks, caregivers. Invisible yet essential.

ILO-backed reforms are underway, but rights remain out of reach until Convention 189 is ratified.

Union revival isn’t nostalgia. It’s survival.
Because without strong unions, there is no decent work.

Unions want savings from the cleanup used to hire real workers and rebuild frontline services.

Every ghost post removed is one real worker restored.

In Nigeria, discipline at work isn’t just about rules; it’s about rights.

Courts now demand notice, hearings & fairness before suspensions or dismissals. Fair process protects both dignity & workplaces.”

Fruit picked. Wine bottled. Profits made.

Meanwhile, farm workers face eviction threats, poverty, and fear.

Unions are organising in the shadows to give them a voice.

This isn’t just about administration; it’s about power and class.
The labour movement must reclaim that promise and make compensation part of the fight for dignity and decent work.

Migrant labour keeps South Africa’s farms, hospitals, and construction sites running. But without fair permits, recruitment oversight, and union rights, exploitation thrives lowering standards for everyone.

Kenya’s informal economy drives jobs but contributes little to tax revenue.
Not because workers evade, but because systems exclude them.
Ignoring the majority costs billions and deepens inequality.

Zanzibar says workers’ rights aren’t optional; they’re policy.

At an ILO workshop, officials pledged safer jobs, fairer laws & stronger protections. But the real test? Turning conventions into everyday rights workers can feel.

33 million Nigerians are food insecure.

Violence keeps farmers from their fields.

Wages are shrinking while prices explode.

This is more than inflation, it’s collapse.

Casualisation is reshaping work in Kenya.

Permanent jobs are giving way to temporary and informal labour.

For workers, this brings risk and insecurity.

For unions and states, it’s a test: can labour rights keep pace?

Remote work is here to stay in Kenya.
It offers flexibility & rural access,but exposes digital gaps, burnout & weak protections.
Will it ease youth unemployment or deepen inequality?”

Nigeria’s Labour Party was meant for workers.
Now it’s under siege by elites and state-backed interference.
This isn’t just party politics.
It’s about whether workers keep a voice of their own

Do unions cause unemployment?
Sometimes higher wages & rigid rules can slow hiring. But evidence is mixed and often, structural failures like corruption, power crises & austerity matter far more.
Balance, not blame.

Women still earn less & face discrimination at work.

Unions are fighting back by using bargaining, strikes & advocacy to demand equal pay, fair treatment & dignity.

Gender justice at work starts with strong unions.

South Africa’s health crisis is a labour crisis.
125,000 doctors, nurses, and technicians gone in 10 years; burned out, underpaid, unprotected.

Unions demand fair pay, safe staffing, and dignity. Without change, patients will keep paying the highest price.

Kenya’s youth are educated, skilled, and still jobless.
800,000 join the workforce yearly; but the jobs? Barely there.

We don’t just need more internships.
We need contracts, labour courts, and youth-led reform.

Africa’s Labour Migration Law is a chance to fix exploitation.

✅ Ethical recruitment
✅ Cross-border rights
✅ Worker dignity

Migrant workers deserve justice. Not abuse.

Circular economy workers keep materials in use but millions work without protection.

An ILO report shows over half of these “green jobs” are informal and unsafe.

A just transition must include labour rights, not just environmental goals.

100+ days. Kiambu hospitals paralysed.

Doctors demand pay, insurance, promotions, safe work. Patients face gaps in care, high costs, and risk.

This strike isn’t just about wages, it’s about dignity, safety, and governance.

Banning strikes across Africa isn’t just bad policy, it erases workers’ power.

No strike = no voice, and no rights.

It’s time to defend the right to protest for fair work.

Uganda’s toolkit programme is a start; but informal workers need more than tools.

They need contracts.
Protections.
A seat at the table.

Formalisation without power is just taxation. Let’s build transitions that respect workers’ dignity.

South Africa’s Employment Equity Act is a test:

Can we fix exclusion without creating new injustice?

Quotas alone aren’t enough. Real equity needs voice, pay, dignity, and security for all workers.
