DTCB workers have last laugh

The order came after the Botswana Diamond Workers’ Union (BDWU) representing 26 workers took the company to court seeking an order that the 17 percent salary increment referred to in the parties agreement of October 24, 2008 was applicable to all persons represented in the lawsuit. 

Represented by local lawyer, Tshiamo Rantao, the BDWU also wanted the diamond polishing firm to implement the wage increase in respect of the persons referred to in the lawsuit.  The union also wanted DTCB to pay costs of the application.
