This comes after the workers through their various labour movements; the University of Botswana Academic and Senior Support Staff Union (UBASSSU), and University of Botswana Staff Union (UBSU), and the National Amalgamated Local, Central Government & Parastatal Workers Union petitioned the vice chancellor on Thursday demanding a seven percent salary adjustment.

In the petition, the workers also declared a motion of no confidence on management and demanded that disciplinary action be taken against some members of the management whom they say are dishonest in dealing with the workers.
