He added that a board, a project team, as well as a communications team will be assembled as part implementing the rationalisation. But, BOFEPUSU has said it is against a trend where ministers and government officials continue to talk publicly about the issues affecting public servants and parastatals employees before engaging their representatives in this case unions.
