Ethiopia: MOLSA Certifies a New Employers’ Federation

A new group composed of five federations; the federations of Hotel, Small and Medium Enterprises, Water and Sewerage service providers and the Amhara and Addis Ababa Employers’ Federations, is certified as the New Ethiopian Employers’ Federation by the Ministry of Labour and Social Affairs.

The group requested MOLSA to be registered as an Ethiopian Employers’ Federation and they were awarded a certificate after a thorough investigation of their structure, management and bi-laws. The letter signed by Hirut Wolde Mariam (Dr.) indicated that the new group was awarded the certificate based on the proclamation of the Executive Bodies Duties and Responsibilities and the proclamation of employers and employees (2004).

Fostering a working relationship with the trade unions and promoting joint representation of government in areas of mutual concern in the Labor Market are among the tasks of the newly certified Employers’ Federation. Its vice president, Feteh Woldesenbet, said “now that we are accredited, our next step is to help both workers and employers and our country as a whole.”
