BOPEU challenges BURS �lockout�

BOPEU, which is representing BURS employees that were engaged in the strike, had taken the war with the revenue services to the Court of Appeal on grounds that the lockout notice was unlawful.

BOPEU and BURS have been in a legal battle, both at the Industrial Court and High Court, due to a 2015 strike by the employees over salary negotiations fallout.  The lockout notice was issued after the striking employees changed from a full protest and engaged in a conditional go-slow strike.
