The 2016/17 wage negotiations between the public sector employer and the trade unions will commence on Monday. The Public Service Bargaining Council (PSBC) is set to convene and commence negotiations in the absence of BOPEU, after the latter allegedly declined to submit a list of their membership to the PSBC for verification.

BOFEPUSU will represent four unions at the bargaining council, Botswana Land Boards, Local Authorities & Health Workers Union (BLLAHWU), Botswana Sectors of Educators Union (BOSETU), Botswana Teachers Union (BTU) and the National Amalgamated Local Central Government and Parastatal Workers Union (NALCGPWU).
