Labour rights organisation (LARO) has urged employers to apply new strategies and tools they just acquire to prevent labour disputes in the work place

Frank Adini who is regional labour officer in the southern region and a facilitator made the call during a day long workshop which was held in Blantyre on Thursday, 14th March.

Adini stated that the purpose of the workshop was to build skills and enhance knowledge on participants on how they can effectively handle labour issues at their work place.

He further observed that issues regarding conditions of services, salaries, termination of services without valid reasons and harassment at work place are some of the factors fuelling conflict between employers and employees.

One of the participants Lot Kaira applauded the organisers for coming up with the workshop as it has enlightened the employers on how they can handle differences as well as disciplinary handling in the work place.
