After several years of intense and at times heated debates, Namibia’s new Labour Act (Act 11 of 2007) was finally passed and signed into law. The process of reforming independent Namibia’s first Labour Act (Act 6 of 1992) started in the late 1990’s and took the form of discussions within the tripartite Labour Advisory Council. It was then decided that instead of merely amending the 1992 Act, a completely new Labour Act should be drafted. This resulted in the Labour Act of 2004 (Act 15 of 2004), which was passed in parliament, signed into law but never fully implemented. Government, employers, unions and the ILO identified several shortcomings in the 2004 Act. As a result, debate continued and a new Labour Bill was drafted and tabled in Parliament in 2007. After being passed and signed into law, this Bill became the Labour Act (Act 11 of 2007) and will set the framework for Namibia’s labour relations and working conditions for the years to come.
