Shutdown: BURS workers strike

As more than 1,000 employees of Botswana Unified Revenue Service (BURS) go on strike today, the parties involved have come up with picketing and strike rules that will apply to Botswana Public Employees Union (BOPEU) members.

BURS employees total 1,400 with 1,372 belonging to a bargaining unit while the rest  are part of management. The better part of Wednesday, the parties were locked in a meeting to finalise the rules. But the parties failed to decide on the provision of minimum service during the industrial action.
