BMWU Happy With BCL Management

During a consultative meeting with Selebi-Phikwe West Member of Parliament (MP) Kavis Kario, branch chairman Bob Malele said the relationship is cordial and should enhance communication between the two parties. He praised Joseph Lisindi, Divisional Manager (Organisational capabilities), for being an effective communicator and ensured the transformed relationship. He, however, said there are some line managers who are still hostile towards the union. The union and BCL management had over a long time been on a collision course and usually ended in court to resolve their differences.

Malele said it was crucial to have consultative meetings with the town's leaders to share ideas, noting that the misunderstandings that marred their relationship with the mine made it impossible for them to meet with the MP immediately after assuming union leadership positions.
