An Open Letter To Members Of Trade Union Movement :: Mmegi Online

Comrades, as constant stream of articles flow from our pens and our regular contribution to the trade unionism movement continues to grow in leaps and bounds, we must not allow our voracious intellectual appetite and rapidly absorbed political activism to derail us from that which we have fought for over so many years.

In all these we need to appreciate that despite the current differences, the outstanding contribution to the trade union movement was always judged in the sphere of ideas and ideology. This was when we knew our one and only role as trade unions. It appears that trade unionism has been snatched from us despite the fact that we still have so much to give and this is a grievous loss to the trade union movement.

Yet we still have the power, ability and capability to save the situation. This is what I address here. And I must confess that the initiative by BOPEU to have its members vote on the stalemate of who can and who cannot be party to the Public Service Bargaining Council PSBC) has fascinated my view point and hence this communication to you comrades in the trade union movement.
