UB salary matter back to University Council

The university employees have been embroiled in a bitter war over salary disputes, which saw the workers, through their labour movements, the University of Botswana Academic and Senior Support Staff Union (UBASSSU), and University of Botswana Staff Union (UBSU), petition the Vice Chancellor (VC) a fortnight ago. In the petition, the workers demanded a seven percent adjustment to their salaries.

The workers indicated that they ought to have benefited from the three and four percent salary hike that was awarded public officers in April 2016 and 2017 respectively.
