Learn about Zimbabwe's leading voice for energy sector workers
The Energy Sector Workers Union of Zimbabwe is a member-driven organization representing workers across all energy sector companies. Headquartered at Construction House in Harare, ESWUZ represents energy sector workers across Zimbabwe's 21 branches.
ESWUZ is affiliated both locally and internationally — we stand with the Zimbabwe Congress of Trade Unions (ZCTU) at home, and with Public Services International (PSI) and 3F Denmark globally.
Our marginalised-groups structures — the Women's Advisory Committee (WAC), Young Workers Committee (YW), and Workers Living with Disability — ensure every voice in the energy sector is heard.
We advocate for workers graded under the Patterson Grading System, ensuring fair treatment and representation. Since our formation in March 2012, we have grown from a small group of dedicated workers to over 1,800 members.
