Builders World blocks employees from unionizing :: Mmegi Online

Botswana Wholesale, Furniture and Retail Workers Union (BWFRWU) has reported Builders World Mochudi management to the Labour Department over refusal to grant them recognition. Employees allege that this is because their employer is not doing things in accordance with labour laws.

According to BWFRWU national organising secretary, Quanch Kewagamang, they registered almost all of the more than 40 employees at the company but the company is refusing to recognise them.

“I wrote to them in October and took the letter to them together with other required documents and requested that we be given a response in 30 days. They did not do so. I kept going to them and the managing director told me they couldn’t help us because they do not have a Human Resources Manager,” he said. Kewagamang said they then resolved to report the matter to the Labour Department and it will be heard on Monday.
