Gov�t, BOFEPUSU fight reaches ILO

This comes after Botswana was listed amongst 23 countries that violated labour laws following the Federation’s report to the Committee of Experts on Application of Conventions and Recommendations (CEACR) in September 2016.

Botswana’s image as a shining example of democracy was dealt a blow after it was placed alongside 23 other states branded ‘labour criminals’ by the Committee of Experts on Application of Conventions and Recommendations during the ongoing session of the International Labour Organisation (ILO) on Tuesday in Geneva, Switzerland. Other African countries listed are Zambia, Egypt, Algeria, Sudan and Libya.
