This week, National Amalgamated Local and Government Central and Parastatal Workers Union, commonly referred to as Manual Workers, filed a notice of motion against the Director of Public Service Management, the six unions, Motsamai, and the PSBC, indicating its intention to approach the High Court on an urgent basis to interdict Motsamai’s appointment.
