Social partners not playing ball: report

Business and labour appear not to be playing ball in the implementation of the country’s crucial economic reconstruction and recovery plan (ERRP).

A report on the ERRP shows that not all social partners are pulling in the same direction in the rollout of the plan. So fraught are the relations that the government released a report on Thursday that only focuses on interventions by the state in the implementation of Errp.according to the ERRP report, which is an account of a period between November 2020 and June 2022, the government made good progress in delivering its side of the bargain.

However, the report notes, the full impact of the implementation can only materialise if all the social partners play their role.
