Minimum wage is a wage that applies on every worker that includes a domestic servant and not only general workers. In principle every worker should be legally employed. In this instance what people should come up is the NORMAL WAGE. A normal wage is a wage that unions negotiate with the employers or can be put in as law in the case of Zambia considering the country’s financial environment. So if honourable Shamenda can pay his domestic workers a minimum wage thats ok but what of a general worker?
Infact minimum wages apply mostly as student allowances of a monthly scholarship, while a normal wage applies in companies in which most cases companies pay slightly more than normal wage as a starting salary for a general worker.
While it is good news for a worker, there are also effects on wages such as inflation, retrenchments, etc.
My advice to all people the president is appointing is that please give our president correct advice so he can go for another term with little resistance.
God bless Zambia.
