DPSM chief says his officer misinformed unions

BOFEPUSU publicity secretary, Goretetse Kekgonegile said that they are still waiting for government to furnish them with documents that would conclude a concrete and informed demand. He added that the salary negotiations for the year 2012 would resume afterwards.

"We still need to organise ourselves and have asked government for wage bills for the year 2012 and last year's  budget, income and expenditure statements, so that we come up with a concrete demand," he said.  He told Mmegi that they would start working on the calculations after receiving the documents by next Friday.  Asked why they have upped their demand, he explained that it is due to the fact that workers have not had a salary hike in the past four years, which had seen the ever-growing inflation rate.
