The Tanzania Union of Industrial and Commercial Workers (TUICO) and the Cooperative Audit and Supervision Corporation (COASCO) signed an agreement on 20 August 2026 in Dodoma to establish an Employees’ Council at the corporation. The agreement was signed during a meeting involving COASCO management and TUICO leadership at COASCO headquarters.
The proposed Employees’ Council is intended to provide a formal platform through which employees can raise workplace concerns, discuss challenges and seek solutions through dialogue between workers’ representatives and management.
Speaking at the meeting, COASCO Acting Director General CPA Jeremiah Mugeta said the council would help create a better and more productive working environment. He explained that meetings and discussions through the council would support the resolution of employees’ concerns and improve efficiency in the organisation.
TUICO Head of the Services and Consultancy Sector, Martin Wawa, described the agreement as an important step towards improving employee welfare and working conditions. TUICO Dodoma Regional Secretary Messe Max Chabba noted that the next step would be to formally establish the council in accordance with applicable laws, regulations and procedures.
The initiative highlights the importance of structured workplace dialogue in building constructive relationships between employees and management. An established forum for consultation can help employees raise concerns, enable management to respond to workplace challenges and support improvements in working conditions and organisational performance.
