PALAPYE: Botswana Public Employees Union (BOPEU) president Masego Mogwera has dared the Government to comply with the International Labour Organisation’s (ILO) conventions or resign from the labour organisation.

Speaking during the union’s annual central executive committee gathering held here at he Majestic Five Hotel this week, Mogwera said the trade union movement is under siege and added that the enactment of draconian and repressive labour laws by Parliament continue to be a challenge and threat to the union movement and workers in general. She cited the Trade Dispute Act and the Public Service Bill as threats to workers’ rights and freedom.

“These pieces of legislation are anti-progress and undermine Botswana’s obligations under various ILO Conventions. So we urge government to comply with the ILO conventions or resign completely.  BOPEU will continue to lobby for the repealing of all draconian labour legislations and to ensure that the country complies with the spirit of the ILO conventions without failure,” she said.

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