Some Members of the Parliament (MP) have expressed with concern the mistreatment of employees by some chain store operators and security company owners.

During Parliament session recently MPs told the House that some Batswana are suffering at the hands of greedy companies offering low payment despite long hours and continued hard work. What has them even more worried is the fundamental mismatch that persists between the kinds of jobs workers want and the kinds that employers struggle to fill that entail long shifts, odd hours and low payments.

They gave an example of security guards, waiters and shop assistants who usually take home payments as little as P1,000 or less per month.
