Gov't, 5+1 CTU resume salary negotiations

The negotiations were halted on September 17, 2025, after the parties could not reach an agreement, and no mutually agreed-upon date was set for the finalisation of the talks. A press release from the 5+1 cooperating unions says the negotiating parties, being the Employer Party and the 5+1 cooperating unions, have agreed that the talks will resume on Friday, September 17 and continue on September 20 in Gaborone.

"Leadership of the 5+1 CTU would like to express its sincere appreciation to the general membership for their understanding, and extreme patience as it continues to fight for, not only the improvement of conditions of service in the public service but more importantly to restore good faith bargaining in the public sector," reads the release authored by Agang Gabana, Coordinator of the 5+1 CTU.
