How can the concept of ‘decent work’ create a thriving and sustainable building industry in the Western Cape?

However, as Luyanda Mgqamqo, labour spokesperson for the Western Cape-based Building Industry Bargaining Council points out, decent work can only be realised when there are meaningful benefits for employees. In 2022, the governments of South Africa and Switzerland, in partnership with the International Labour Organisation , officially launched the ILO Productivity Ecosystems for Decent Work programme, which identifies the root causes of decent work deficits and develops capacity and local and national actions to address them.

It has achieved this by focusing on four key pillars, the first being “Productive Employment and Sustainable Enterprise”, which is evident in a workforce that comprises a core team with the requisite skills to contribute productively to the types of building activities performed. New entrants to the business will also be exposed to learning opportunities.

According to Danie Hattingh, the BIBC’s spokesperson for business, employers also have a responsibility to create conditions conducive to advancing the decent work agenda.
