Zambia's specialised tribunal for resolving employment and labour disputes — hearing unfair dismissal claims, wage disputes, and trade union matters.
The Industrial Labour Tribunal (formerly the Industrial Relations Court) is established under the Industrial and Labour Relations Act Cap. 269. It has jurisdiction over: unfair dismissal claims, wage disputes, trade union recognition disputes, collective bargaining disagreements, and unfair labour practice complaints. Filing is relatively accessible — workers can represent themselves in straightforward cases. The tribunal can order reinstatement, back pay, or compensation.
A Kitwe mine worker is dismissed for joining a trade union. Dismissal for union activity is an unfair labour practice under the Industrial and Labour Relations Act. She files a claim with the Industrial Labour Tribunal, which orders reinstatement and payment of wages lost during the dispute.
