Mr. Sylvester Isaya explored the history and role of labor unions in safeguarding workers’ rights and influencing social policies. He traced their origins to the Industrial Revolution and outlined the development of unions in Tanzania, beginning with the first union in 1927 and the eventual establishment of TUICO in 1996. He explained how unions have evolved to unify worker voices and promote better working conditions.
The seminar concluded with an interactive Q&A session, where students discussed professional ethics, personal growth, and how unions can support young professionals entering the workforce.
