BOFEPUSU floors BOPEU, again :: Mmegi Online

FRANCISTOWN: The acrimonious legal battle between the Botswana Public Employees Union (BOPEU) and the Botswana Federation of Public Private Parastatals Sector Unions (BOFEPUSU) saw the latter delivering a sucker punch to the former Tuesday evening.

BOPEU lost a case in which they had taken the federation to Court on urgency seeking that BOFEPUSU, an admitted party to the Botswana Public Service Bargaining Council (PSBC), be ordered to submit its audited membership figures for the period ended December 31, 2016, and in terms of Article 8,1 of the constitution of the PSBC.

BOPEU also wanted BOFEPUSU to be declared to have violated Article 8.1 of the constitution of the PSBC, that BOFEPUSU be immediately ordered to pay its outstanding financial contributions of P1, 065. 30, and that BOFEPUSU’s PSBC membership be suspended.
