SELEBI-PHIKWE: Leader of the Opposition (LoO) in Parliament, Duma Boko has strongly warned labour movements never to allow themselves to be intimidated and divided by non-issues.

Addressing members of Botswana Public Employees Union (BOPEU) on May Day commemorations in here, Boko urged labour movements to identify the core challenges, hostilities among themselves and holistically address them. “Remember to mediate your differences with humility. You need solidarity to assert your rights and when operating as a collective, Government will pay attention to you,” he said.

Boko said there is no way Government can negotiate in good faith if it disregards the labour movement as the other party. He stressed that Government must respect workers if it needs to be respected. “Workers are reasonable and very understanding if you disclose accurate information to them. Negotiate with them in good faith and give them respect,” he said.
