FNB ordered: "Don't pay yet, finish talking"

Industrial Court Judge, Tebogo Maruping, yesterday ruled that the First National Bank of Botswana (FNB) should set aside the salary increments that it has awarded to non-unionised employees pending negotiations with the Botswana Bank Employees Union.

This followed an application filed by the union seeking an order to that effect. The union says while they were still negotiating with employers for a salary increase, the bank had already awarded an eight percent increase to the non-union workers.

The respondents in this matter were FNB and 103 non-union workers who were awarded the increase.
