The first preparatory meeting towards the 134th International Labour Day celebration in Momo Division took place on Tuesday April 21st 2020 in the conference hall of the Divisional Delegation of Labour and Social Security.
Chaired by the first assistant Senior Divisional Officer, Arrah Amatangana Maxime, attendees who were mostly divisional delegates and heads of services were tasked to ensure a remarkable celebration this year through effective participation in the earmarked weeklong activities in the build up to the day and physical presence on the Mbengwi ceremonial grandstand come Friday May 1st 2020.
"Excuse for absenteeism because of security reasons won't be tolerated. You are all workers and we cannot be celebrating the day without you" the assistant SDO remarked in his opening address
The Divisional Officer for Mbengwi subdivision, Sakwe Jarvis in corroborating the SDO's remarks warned that "This time, we mean business. Either you're for or against us. There's no midway" He also insisted that the effectiveness and efficiency of all committee members in executing their various assigned terms of references is mandatory.
The Momo Divisional Delegate of Labour and Social Security, Mrs. Alota Bridget while reviewing last year's celebration of the day regretted that it was boycotted by all worker's trade unions and establishments in the private sector within the entire division. "Though not massively attended, it all went well" she affirmed after having disclosed the importance of labour day in the life of a worker.
She explained that "It is an important day in the life of workers of the public and private sector to rejoice over their little contributions to nation building." Despite last year's boycott, the delegate remained hopeful that this year will be better considering the current relatively calm atmosphere.
Before closing the meeting, over five committees were put in place to better plan for a successful labour day celebration in Mbengwi, the divisional headquarters. Attendees were reminded that march pass by all the delegations carrying their sign boards won't be optional, reason why they must be on high alert to be in Mbengwi before the D-day in case ghost town calls are to be made by separatists.
