DPSM suing unions is typical – BFTU

On the other hand, the Botswana Federation of Trade Unions (BFTU) is advising trade unions to be prepared for such situations. In a statement, Ketlhalefile Motshegwa, the deputy secretary-general of BOFEPUSU, expressed concern about the deteriorating state of industrial relations within the public service.

He highlighted a new and unprecedented pattern where employers are resorting to legal action to compel workers to perform tasks without proper negotiations on their terms of employment and working conditions.
