BOPEU has betrayed the struggle

BOPEU president Andrew Motsamai’s unilateral decision to sue to disqualify BOFEPUSU from the Public Service Bargaining Council (PSBC) and from the acting jointly for admission into the PSBC membership with the majority trade union has brought catastrophe in Botswana labour relations. In fact it has brought catastrophic effect to the union members and to the movement. By way of notice of motion filed on February 5, 2016 with the Industrial Court, the applicant, herein referred to as BOPEU, sought urgent redress. Amongst the orders are:

2.2 declaring that the 5th Respondent (BOFEPUSU) is not entitled to be admitted into the membership of the 8th Respondent (PSBC).
