The study used a total of 102 respondents out of which 98 were employees and 4 Principals of the four selected private Vocational Training Centres (VTCs) in Dodoma Municipal. The VTCs included: TRACDI, Don Bosco, St. Gabriel and Dodoma VTC. The study employed a case study design as well as qualitative and quantitative approaches. The primary data were collected via questionnaires and interviews, where the secondary data were collected using documentary analysis. The quantitative data were analysed using the Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) software and the qualitative data were analysed using content analysis. The research findings revealed that at VTCs, employees are to freely join trade unions hence abiding to both local and International enactments on labour rights. It was found that freedom of association and collective bargaining enhances performance of both employees and organization. It was, further, found that wages are paid promptly on monthly basis as well as compensating any extra work done on overtime basis. Also, the study revealed that wages, which are reasonably fair, raise employees’ performance.
