BTC, union agree to end retrenchment squabble

This comes after the labour union representing the employees and the corporation consented to end their squabbling and go back to the negotiation table over the terms of the planned retrenchment.

The two parties have been at loggerheads and were headed for a legal showdown after the BTC management resolved to embark on a retrenchment and structuring exercise without the involvement of the union with regards to the new structure and retrenchment packages for the retrenched employees.
