The interdict against salary negotiations continues to have a negative impact on public officers who have gone for years without a salary increase. The Botswana Federation of Public Sector Union (BOFEPUSU) president, Johannes Tshukudu, says this in his founding affidavit.

Tshukudu said the changes to terms and conditions and to remuneration are, as a practice between the parties, to be implemented from April 1. BOFEPUSU and the four public sector unions last Thursday night launched an urgent appeal against the Industrial Court Judge President Justice Tebogo Maruping’s judgment in which he ruled in favour of the Botswana Public Employees Union (BOPEU). This is in a case in which BOPEU challenged the legitimacy of the BOFEPUSU to be part of the bargaining council.

Last month, BOPEU made an urgent application seeking the nullification of the admission of BOFEPUSU into the Public Service Bargaining Council (PSBC). The constituents of BOFEPUSU are the Botswana Land Board and Local Authorities and Health Workers Union (BLLAHWU), the Botswana Sectors of Educators Trade Union (BOSETU), the Botswana Teachers Union (BTU) and the National Amalgamated Local and Central Government and Parastatal Workers Union (NALCGPWU).

Each of the 10 beautiful young women had supporters...
