SEROWE: The Botswana Federation of Public Private Parastatals Sector Unions (BOFEPUSU) will quit the Public Service Bargaining Council (PSBC) until October after the end of their Court case with the Botswana Public Employees Union (BOPEU).

Speaking during the Labour Day on Monday, BOFEPUSU secretary general Tobokani Rari said that the union has taken a decision to quit the PSBC in order for the unionising workers under BOFEPUSU not to suffer.
Rari said they are quitting not because they are cowards, but just for the good of their members. He said they will write a letter to the director of Directorate of Public Service Management (DPSM), Ruth Maphorisa’s office demanding them to give their members the three percent salary increment that has been given to the public servants who are not unionised.

“This is a decision that we have taken as BOFEPUSU and we are doing it for the good of our members. After all, ever since the PSBC was introduced, the relationship between the members within it has never been normal. The PSBC has been introduced as an industrial council which includes all, but some people chose to exclude others from it,” Rari said.

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