Various unions in the security sector have proposed to the government a gradual increase in the statutory minimum wage for security workers.

This is after it was announced recently that all workers should earn at least a minimum wage of N$18 per hour as of 1st January 2025.

A strike is looming at the Keetmanshoop Municipality after wage negotiations reached a deadlock. 

Regional Coordinator for the Namibia Public Workers Union (NAPWU) in ||Kharas Region, Kleophas Katuuo told nbc News that municipal workers voted in favor of industrial action.
