UNITRANS management and employees tussle over new union

Although authorities at the freight company have dismissed the allegations, it has emerged that the issue has reached the office of the Commissioner of Labour.

The protracted battle between the workers and their employer has been ongoing for a few years now. Last year, the management dismissed 24 workers after a strike that took place early last year, without involving their then representative, Botswana Transport and Allied Workers Union (BOTRAWU).
