Unions register complaint with labour office

The disgruntled unions - Trainers and Allied Workers Union (TAWU) and Botswana Government Workers' Union (BOGOWU) - have registered a dispute at the Commissioner of Labour's office after five unions and the Directorate of Public Service Management reached an agreement and signed the final amended Public Service Bargaining Council (PSCB) constitution on Monday.

The dispute was set for this Friday before private mediator, Sam Leero.

According to TAWU's secretary general, Edward Tswaipe, they did not agree with the other parties on points of law and requested that the issue be taken before the courts.
