Government employees’ trade unions are demanding that the government cease any execution of the agreement it has entered into with Botswana Land Board, Local Authorities, and Health Workers Union (BLLAHWU) pending conclusion of talks.

The unions under the banner 5+1, National Amalgamated Local, Central, Parastatal and Government Workers Union (NALCPGWU), Botswana Public Employees' Union (BOPEU) Botswana Teachers Union (BTU), Botswana Sectors of Educators Trade Union (BOSETU), Botswana Nurses Union (BONU), Botswana Doctors Union (BDU) have accused the government and BLLAHWU of using their proposal despite the latter union having pulled out of talks.

BLLAHWU, which at the start of bargaining talks were part of the trade unions and collectively bargaining under the name Six Plus One Cooperating Trade Unions (6+1), had reportedly pulled out of the talks, citing they had agreed to accept the proposal made by the employer party.
