Justice Isaac Lesetedi of the Court of Appeal (CoA) has told warring trade unions, Botswana Public Employees Union (BOPEU) and Botswana Federation of Public Sector Unions (BOFEPUSU) that they are now worse off than when their case first started.

Delivering judgement on Friday, Lesetedi lashed out at the two trade unions, saying, with the aid of  hardened attitudes, a dispute  which  could  easily  have been  resolved to the satisfaction of all, even at the hearing stage, was drawn to the ultimate legal determination, leaving both fighting parties bruised.

The CoA judge said with constructive engagement and an eye  to the common good of their members, the dispute did not require the parties to litigate to the bitter end, but rather to come  together around the  table and find a workable compromise and then move  on to their more pressing mandate.
