BMWU could relocate

Thursday, December 22, 2016

FRANCISTOWN: The Botswana Mine Workers Union (BMWU) is reportedly mulling relocating from its headquarters of Selebi Phikwe, in the wake of BCL Mine’s closure.

The closure of the BCL Mine and its Tati Nickel Mining Company subsidiary last October left more than 5,000 members jobless and the ever-dwindling strength of the trade union equally slashed.

Mmegi sources said recently that now the debate inside BMWU, one of the oldest trade unions in the country lately has been to relocate the union headquarters closer to its members so to manage mine–related issues easily. Orapa and Palapye have been raised as possible favoured destinations to host the BMWU headquarters.
