Trainers and Allied Workers Union (TAWU) and the Botswana Government Workers Union (BOGOWU) yesterday submitted to the Commissioner of Labour a notice to convene a last chance mediation meeting following last month's meeting where the commissioner requested the parties to go back to the table and resolve their dispute.
However, information reaching Mmegi indicate that the DPSM requested the two unions to come for a meeting last Friday but was turned down as the unions stated that it was short notice for them. Another meeting was called on Monday where TAWU and BOGOWU walked out when they realised the outstanding issues they were not happy with would not be discussed. The meeting went ahead with discussions on the registration of the PSBC constitution between DPSM and five unions namely; Botswana Teachers Union (BTU), National Amalgamated Local and Central Government and Parastatal Workers Union (NALCGPWU), Botswana Land Boards and Local Authorities Workers Union (BLLAWU), Botswana Public Employees Union (BOPEU) and Botswana Secondary Teachers Union (BOSETU).
