Postal union gets reprieve from court

The union had lodged an urgent application this past week, on grounds that the haste with which management of Botswana Post has handled and continues to handle the rationalisation exercise and its sudden, unlawful and unmerited departure without valid reason from mutual engagement has precipitated a very unfair and unacceptable situation which leaves the livelihood of dozens of employees hanging in the balance.

This was after the chairperson and deputy of the BPSWU were dismissed from work, on what the union believes are trumped-up charges.
