'Unfair Retrenchment Process' Haunts BPC :: Mmegi Online

FRANCISTOWN: The retrenchment process instigated by Botswana Power Corporation (BPC) in May 2017 has turned out to haunt the corporation as the laid off employees took their former employer before the Industrial Court over a litany of complaints.

On Friday, former workers led by Molefe Modise and 36 others hauled the state-owned power utility to court praying for BPC to be forced to give them their funds from the unpaid performance increment, unprocedural and unfair retrenchment process and unpaid pensions amongst others.

The retrenched employees also wanted the court to direct their former employer to pay them the remaining amount of performance pay, which Modise stated in his evidence in chief that the matter has since been resolved after BPC corrected the anomaly by paying all the retrenchees the balance that was outstanding.
