The International Labour Organization office for Uganda and Tanzania has reached an agreement with the IUF affiliate HTS-Union to exclusively patronize hotels that recognize HTS-Union and have collective bargaining agreements with the union.
- The commitment covers 61 hotels and safari lodges across the different regions of Uganda
- HTS-Union will update and transmit the list quarterly
Richard Moses Mauku, General Secretary of HTS-Union, stated “This engagement by the ILO office reflects the mandate to promote trade union rights and collective bargaining. This agreement will aid HTS-Union to effectively represent more workers in the HRCT sector and thus improve union density and strength. We hope the rest of the ILO will follow suit.”
