Hotel workers decry hostile bosses

Speaking at the sixth congress over the weekend, Keseemetse Monga said it is remarkable that the organisation is still faced with the challenge of low membership when the country has a high number of hotels.

“We are trying to recruit members but we are hitting a snag due to the fact that some employers do not want their workers to join the union because they view us as an enemy,” he said, adding “unions should be regarded as partners in identifying and solving worker-related issues”.
