FRIDAY October 11 1985 Minimum wage now

IT IS OF THE utmost importance that a basic minimum wage be established in Namibia. At a news conference to introduce the Conditions of Employ­ ment Draft Bill , interim government Minister of National Health and Welfare, Mr Moses Katjiuongua said that 'since the economy remains extremely unhealthy, no minimum wages are prescribed and employers and employees will still be able to negotiate the remuneration payable to the employee ... ' At the same time the Draft Bill provides for the 'prohibition of victimisation' . He goes on to say that the 'primary objective of the Draft Bill is the enactment of those basic conditions of employment which form the foundation for sound and equitable labour relations'. We wish to state that unless a minimum wage is established there is little chance of 'sound and equitable labour relations'. We main­ ,..., "l, ..... r1l1n-,n ~. 1\ c-...... " . ~ -. . . ""i p .

We know that on many farms workers receive what amounts to ~ ~~~w0 ~ i r a pittance, supplemented by mealiemeal and perhaps sugar, and thi is regarded as 'adequate remuneration'. We suggest that the imposition of a minimum wage has little bear­ ing on the 'unhealthy' state of the economy. It is not only business that feels the squeeze of a tight money supply, the consumer feels it even more, particularly when one considers the largescale joblessness, and lack of benefits from the State. AG leaves In addition, it would be difficult in the extreme to implement a clause prohibiting 'victimisation' if this matter is not reviewed. We therefore suggest that before the Draft Bill is tabled in the • National Assembly, urgent attention be given to a minimum wage. more queries Remember them TODAY NAMIBIANS are once again reminded of their colonial than answers status by South Africa's observance of Kruger Day which of course by law is forced on Namibisms.
