BOPEU makes a u-turn on employees' salary increment

Mmegi has learnt that earlier last week Wednesday, BOPEU general secretary Topias Marenga briefed some of the staff members about the developments citing that the four percent increase added more costs to the organisation’s wage bill. However in an interview with Mmegi last week Wednesday, Marenga denied the allegations.

“I am not aware of those developments and cannot comment further,” he said. The move is unlawful at it is unilateral change of terms of the contract of employment, as the employees had legitimate expectation, one labour lawyer observed.
