Mabeo urges bargaining council members to be patient

Speaking during his ministry’s Pitso held in Selebi-Phikwe recently Mabeo said both parties cannot afford to have a stalemate because progress is needed, otherwise workers are denied their rights.

He added that the bargaining council was established by law, therefore all stakeholders must do what it expects them to do. “Have patience in your negotiations. Mistrust on each other won’t take us anywhere. Dialogue does not necessarily mean that parties will agree on everything, but they should not relent on issues they have failed to agree on,” he said.
