BMWU rejects TNMC leave offer :: Mmegi Online

The Botswana Mine Workers Union (BMWU) recently rejected a proposal by the cash-strapped Tati Nickel Mining Company (TNMC) for workers to take a two-week leave as part of cost-cutting measures, Mmegi has learnt.

TNMC last week called an emergency consultative meeting with its Phoenix Mine BMWU branch and proposed that workers should apply for five days leave and the mine would offer them another five days so that they could take a two-week leave.

BMWU general secretary, Mbiganyi Ramokate confirmed last week’s BMWU/TNMC management consultative meeting which the former rejected outright despite the fact that the employer’s motive was to cushion its biting effect of cash flow. The situation at the beleaguered copper/nickel mining outfit situated about 44 kilometres east of Francistown is compounded by the fluctuating global metal prices and its low-grade copper.
