Working Conditions and Labour Relations in the Private Security Industry in Zimbabwe: A Research Paper

This study was undertaken at a time when the private security industry was facing numerous challenges relating to income insecurity, inadequate social security, poor working conditions, ambiguous employment relationships and multiple unions that were weakening the power of collective labour. The aim of this paper is to bring some of these challenges to the fore, in detail, as well as to propose solutions that could ensure the achievement of decent work in this sector.
