Lawlessness and intimidation" in Zimbabwe are now impacting negatively on trade union rights there, world industrial union leaders declared in Brussels this afternoon.
The Executive Committee of the 20-million-strong International Federation of Chemical, Energy, Mine and General Workers' Unions (ICEM) called on the Zimbabwean government to "allow trade union activities to take place freely and without fear or intimidation."
Trade union rights and human rights must be guaranteed "irrespective of political tensions in the country," the ICEM said. It also called for "free political activity" in Zimbabwe and the "creation of an environment conducive to free and fair elections."
