BOFEPUSU, BOPEU kiss and make up

BOFEPUSU and the Botswana Public Employees Unions (BOPEU) have joined hands for salary negotiations for financial years 2019-2020 and 2020-2021. 

For the past few years, the two were not seeing eye-to-eye. BOPEU is a founding member of BOFEPUSU, but pulled out of the federation in 2015 over political differences. The new bromance resulted after the director of the Directorate of Public Service Management (DPSM), Goitseone Mosalakatane wrote to all the recognised trade unions informing them that government wished to enter into and conclude salary negotiations for the financial years 2019-2020, and 2020-2021.
