United Federation of Employers in Zambia

“Freedom is not a gift, it is a victory won by courage, unity and purpose.”

Today we remember the heroes who paid the price for our liberation and we celebrate the freedom that lets us define our own destiny as Africans, and as Zambians.

We honor that victory by building a greater future through education, leadership, and service. Freedom gave us the right to learn, to lead, and to dream. Our duty now is to use that freedom to solve our challenges, uplift our communities, and create opportunities for every Zambian.

We are Proudly Zambian. Unapologetically African. United in Purpose. Driven by Freedom.

Let us keep the spirit of courage and unity alive in our classrooms, our clinics, and our country. The future we want will be built by us, together.

One Nation. One People. One Future.

UFEZ JOINS THE REST OF THE WORLD COMMEMORATING 2026 LABOR DAY CELEBRATION

Lusaka, Zambia - The United Federation of Employers in Zambia (UFEZ) joins the nation in commemorating Labour Day, with a renewed pledge to promote decent work and sustainable employment.

The theme for this year's celebration, "Securing Zambia's Future of Work: Protecting Jobs, Skills and Pensions for Decent Work for All," resonates deeply with UFEZ's mission to foster a conducive business environment that supports both enterprise growth and worker welfare.

In a statement, UFEZ executive president Dr Humphrey Monde emphasized the importance of protecting jobs, investing in skills development, and ensuring pension protection and social security for workers. "As employers, we recognize that securing the future of work requires deliberate and collaborative action. We will continue to strive to sustain businesses, even in challenging economic environments, because job creation and retention are not only economic goals, but also social imperatives," said the representative.

UFEZ is committed to playing a pivotal role in promoting decent work and economic growth through policy advocacy, social dialogue, and capacity-building initiatives.

The Federation supports its members in adopting fair labour practices, complying with labour laws, and improving workplace standards. "We remain committed to constructive engagement, evidence-based policy advocacy, and promoting a balanced labour environment that supports both enterprise growth and worker protection," said the representative.

The Federation commends workers across the country for their dedication and resilience, and employers for their continued efforts in sustaining enterprises and supporting the economy.
"Let us move forward together with unity, purpose, and determination to build a future where every Zambian has access to decent, productive, and secure work," said the representative.

UFEZ looks forward to continued collaboration with government, social partners, and stakeholders to achieve its vision of a prosperous and equitable society.
