Anguished SPTC industrial class workers fume

SELEBI-PHIKWE: Over 100 Selebi-Phikwe Town Council industrial class employees had a shock of their lives when they discovered that they were almost destined for a dull Easter as their salaries were not ready last Thursday.

This prompted Botswana Manual Workers Union (BMWU)to convene an urgent meeting last Thursday afternoon at Anne Adams Park with the council authorities to seek clarification. During the heated meeting, employees lashed out at the council's treasury department for poor service delivery and accused the council of having done this to deliberately hurt them.

The industrial class employees said they were shocked to discover that despite this, their permanent and pensionable colleagues were paid on time. According to the normal and usual arrangement industrial class employees get paid first. Fuming employees also lambasted treasury staff for laxity despite that they are paid overtime for processing payments on schedule.
