E07: Tanzania's Wage Puzzle: Navigating Inflation and Negotiation Dynamics

The cheers of May Day still echo—President Samia’s announcement of a 35.1% minimum wage increase for public sector workers sent waves of excitement through Tanzania. But beyond the celebration, what does this really mean for workers, especially those in the private and informal sectors?

In this thought-provoking episode of Kazi the Podcast, hosts Sam Gidori and Venance Majula dive deep into the realities behind wages, inflation, and labor policies. With insights from key experts—Dr. Joseph Mwinulla, labor economist; Willy Kibona, TUICO representative; and Jonathan Karuguru, consultant for street vendors—we explore salary structures, trade unions’ role in wage negotiations, and the pressing need to protect informal sector workers.

And as the world of work rapidly shifts with technological advancements like AI, we ask: Are workers prepared for the transformation? Will automation revolutionize productivity—or threaten livelihoods?

This episode is packed with powerful perspectives, crucial debates, and forward-thinking discussions on the future of labor in Tanzania. Tune in now to stay informed, empowered, and ready for change!
