The Directorate of Public Service Management (DPSM) has been interdicted from de-recognising trade unions. Francistown Industrial Court in its ruling on Monday restrained DPSM from effecting correspondence dated October 16, 2018 that sought to de-recognise five trade unions that are part of the reestablishment of the Public Service Bargaining Council (PSBC) pending the outcome of an application to be filed by the unions.

The ruling comes in the wake of the five trade unions, Botswana Land Boards and Local Authorities and Health Workers’ Union, Botswana Sectors of Educators’ Trade Union, Botswana Teachers Union and The National Amalgamated Local Central and Parastatal Workers’ Union and Botswana Public Employees Union, taking the DPSM to court over the de-recognition. 

The proposed de-recognisation meant that as a result the unions were no longer going to be able to participate in negotiations about the reestablishment of the PSBC.

Each of the 10 beautiful young women had supporters...
