Scope of Work
The Labour Market Chamber considers
all proposed labour legislation relating to the labour market
policy before it is introduced in Parliament. The Labour
Market Chamber seeks to reach consensus and make arrangements for
placing before the Executive Council on all matters pertaining to
the world of work and the associated institutions of delivery.
Chamber Modus Operandi
Most of the substantive work of the
Chamber is done in Task Teams comprising of representatives of
stakeholders that have specific knowledge of the relevant subject
matter. The work of the Task Team is governed by Terms of
Reference, which are developed by the Chamber. The outcome of work
done in the Task Teams is submitted to the Chamber for
consideration and ratification. Once the Task Team report is signed
off by the Chamber, it is then tabled at the Management Committee
for final consideration and sign off.
Meeting Target for 2008/2009
The Chamber is required to meet at
least six (6) times in each financial year. Representation in
the Chamber is made up of six (6) mandated representatives from
Organised Labour, Organised Business and Government.
