Expelled industrial workers meet with Ntuane

After more than 50 nurses were reinstated in December, the industrial workers, among them cleaners and gardeners, have become more desperate for re-employment. They told Ntuane - who is the Leader of the Opposition in Parliament - that the Director of Public Service Management (DPSM), Festinah Bakwena, had said her understanding was that all workers under the Ministry of Health should be re-employed.

One of the expelled workers said they no longer gather at the offices Botswana Public Employees Union (BOPEU) offices because since the nurses were reinstated, no one took the industrial class cadre seriously.
