General Secretary's Message

23 September 2026

Dear member, worker and partner,

TUICO’s work starts where members work.

Our priority is to strengthen workplace branches, reach workers in underrepresented workplaces and the informal economy, and equip representatives to help members raise and resolve workplace concerns.

We use reliable data and economic analysis in collective bargaining so that our proposals reflect living costs, sector productivity and workers’ conditions.

We also bring workers’ concerns into social dialogue and policy discussions in Tanzania and strengthen our work with trade unions internationally.

Our Strategic Plan for 2026-2030 sets out what we aim to deliver.

We are strengthening how we collect and use information, manage union resources, and track implementation.

We also widen participation by women, young workers and groups whose voices are underrepresented, including in leadership development.

As we report on this work, you should be able to see what we planned, what has been done and what results can be verified.

I invite you to take part in your branch and share the issues that matter to you through our established channels of communication.

If you need workplace support, speak with your representative or regional office, or write to: info@tuico.or.tz.
