Public Service Workers Union

Workers First.
In every ministry. In every decision.

PUSEWU defends job security, fair pay and dignified conditions for Zambia's public service workers — and now you can join, sign and be represented without leaving your station.

Retirement Savings Scheme

K20 of your subscription comes back to you.

Every month, K20 of your K150 PMEC deduction is saved in your name. Watch your balance grow on your dashboard, month by month — matured after 36 months and paid out when you retire.

Your voice, tracked to resolution

Lodge your issue. Follow every step.

Raise a salary dispute, unfair treatment or any workplace issue from your phone. See who is handling it, what stage it has reached, and how similar cases were resolved before.

Already in another union?

Switching to PUSEWU is your right.

Under the Industrial and Labour Relations Act, Cap 269, you may withdraw from your current union at any time. We prepare the withdrawal notice, notify District HR and PMEC, and bring you across — properly and formally.

How to join

Apply and sign online. Your salary does the rest.

No cash. No mobile money. Your subscription is a clean payroll deduction handled through PMEC.

Apply & sign online

Complete the digital consent form and sign it with your finger, verified by an SMS code. Legally valid under the ECT Act, 2021.

PUSEWU approves

An officer verifies your eligibility — typically within 24–48 hours — and issues your membership number and digital card.

PMEC deducts K150

We submit your details to PMEC under deduction code F396. K150 comes off your payroll monthly — nothing for you to do.

You track everything

Your dashboard shows your deduction history, your growing K20-a-month retirement savings, and any case you lodge.

Already in another union? Tell us during sign-up. We generate your withdrawal notice under Cap 269 (s.5(f) & s.22(2)), notify District HR and PMEC, and switch your deduction to PUSEWU — no double deductions.
