BOFEPUSU Rallies Behind BCL Workers :: Mmegi Online

The Botswana Federation of Public Sector Unions (BOFEPUSU) Central Executive Committee last week descended on Selebi-Phikwe to render a solidarity message to the community of Selebi-Phikwe and in particular the employees of BCL, the Botswana Mine Workers Union (BMWU) and its members.

The meeting was attended by dozens of people from all walks of life in Selebi-Phikwe, signifying how the decision by government to liquidate and close down the BCL Mine has affected the whole community of Selebi-Phikwe.

The federation officials indicated to the BCL employees and the Selebi-Phikwe community that by bringing a solidarity message to them, they were living up to the old adage, “an injury to one is an injury to all” and as such they could not just watch and become indifferent to the calamity that has befallen the BCL workers and the Selebi-Phikwe community.
