new\nparagraph:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\u003Cp>\"Employees eligible for representation by the Union shall be employees who\nare not in management in accordance with the industrial and Labour Relations\nAct CAP 269 of the Laws of Zambia.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\u003Cp>The rationale for this proposed amendment is to align the Clause with the\nEmployment Act which defines an employee as follows:-\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\u003Cp>\"employee\" means any person who has entered into or works under a contract\nof service, whether the contract is express or implied, is oral or in writing,\nand whether the remuneration is calculated by time or by work done, or is in\ncash or kind, but does not include a person employed under a contract of\napprenticeship made in accordance with the Apprenticeship Act or a casual\nemployee\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\u003Cp>As a follow up, Section 5 of the Industrial and Labour Relations Act,\nconfers the employee with the following rights:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\u003Cp>’Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in any other written\nlaw and subject only to the provisions of Constitution and this Act every\nemployee shall have the following rights:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\u003Cp>(a) the right to take part in the formation of a trade union;\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\u003Cp>(b) the right to be a member of a trade union of that employee's choice;\n’'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\u003Cp>The implication of the law as quoted above is that Clause 2 of our\nmemorandum of Recognition Agreement is in conflict with the Employment Act and\nthe Industrial and Labour Relations Act.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\u003Cp>However, Section 3 of the Industrial and Labour Relations Amendment Act No.\n8 of 2008 defines management as follows:-\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\u003Cp>a) Head of an institution or undertaking and has authority to hire, suspend,\npromote, or demote an employee of the institution or undertaking\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\u003Cp>b) Head of a department in an institution, or undertaking and has authority\nin the financial, operational, human resource, security, or policy matters of\nthe institution or undertaking\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\u003Cp>c) Decision making authority in the financial, operational, personnel, or\npolicy matters of an institution or undertaking and who represents and\nnegotiates on behalf of the institution or undertaking in collective bargaining\nor negotiations with any trade union;\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\u003Cp>d) Or with institutional authority to perform the functions referred to in\nparagraph a, b, c\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\u003Cp>It is our considered view that after the agreement is amended, the decision\nto belong or not to belong to a trade union shall be based on individual\nchoice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\u003Cp>We look forward to convening of the Bargaining Unit in accordance with the\nnotice in order to conclude this matter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\u003Cp>Peggy Mubanga (Ms)\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\u003Cp>ASSISTANT GENERAL SECRETARY ORGANISATION & ADMINISTRATION\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\u003Cp>FOR\u002FGENERAL
