The CoA further noted that the NALCGPWU, otherwise known as the Manual Workers Union, did meet the threshold of admittance into the PSBC during the past immediate verification process and as such the BOFEPUSU AJA which it, (NALCGPWU), is a constituent member, is the legitimate trade union party admitted into the PSBC. The CoA however ordered that there be a fresh verification of the BOFEPUSU AJA in accordance with article 7.3 of the PSBC constitution using membership figures as at the date of the order to establish whether it (the BOFEPUSU AJA) still meets the threshold in that one of its constituent unions has a membership exceeding the one third of all unionised public officers. The CoA further ordered that the same verification exercise shall determine whether BOPEU meets the threshold as per Article 6 of the PSBC Constitution, and if it does, it shall be admitted and recognised as a member of the PSBC
It has to be noted that the CoA established that the BOFEPUSU AJA is an legitimate admitted and recognised Trade Union party to the PSBC hence its order that it (the BOFEPUSU AJA) be subjected a fresh verification process in accordance with Article 7.2 of the PSBC constitution which reads as thus “Any changes to an AJA as provided for under Article 7.1 and/or 7.2 shall be communicated to the General Secretary, within 30 days from the date of such a change, who shall determine whether or not the trade union still complies with the threshold requirements.
