Newly elected BOPEU leadership to prioritise member satisfaction

Following their union’s elective congress held at the Majestic Five Hotel in Palapye recently, which ushered in new office bearers, Gabobake told Mmegi that they will ensure that all the appropriate bargaining structures and legal instruments governing employment are in place and to the required standards.

BOPEU was in the past rocked by factional wars, which allegedly derailed the union’s progress and polarised its investment plans. The new leadership has its work cut out to restore trust from the membership and ensure BOPEU returns to its glory days. Gabobake said the congress, which had 450 delegates from the BOPEU membership, resolved to, amongst others, focus on improving members’ conditions of service and renewing the union’s financial performance and investments.
