An updated Worker's Guide on the Mauritian Employment Law, in light of the new legislation in place (The Workers' Rights Act 2019), was launched, today, by the President of the Republic of Mauritius, Mr Prithvirajsing Roopun, during a ceremony held at the Municipal City Council of Port-Louis.
The booklet has been produced by the Mauritius Trade Union Congress (MTUC) in collaboration with its affiliates, namely the Federation of Agro-Industry and Allied Workers Unions; the Federation of Democratic Labour Unions; and the Federation of Local Government and Other Labour Unions.
National Trade Union Leaders and MTUC Union Presidents were presented with a copy of the Worker's Guide on that occasion. The publication has been edited by Professor (Dr) Rajendra Parsad Gunputh, Dean of the Faculty of Law and Management at the University of Mauritius.
In his address, President Roopun congratulated the MTUC and its affiliates for having published a compilation of labour legislations which has been written in a simple, clear and precise manner. The Worker's Guide will serve as a guide and useful tool for one and all to master labour legislations in Mauritius, he emphasised.
The President recalled that the first labour legislation was enacted in 1975 and highlighted the importance of labour legislation which brings about a balance between employees and employers so that there is no abuse of power.
