Gov't crafting decent wages law

Speaking at Botswana Sectors of Educators Trade Union (BOSETU) annual conference in Palapye this morning, Minister Annah Mokgethi said the envisaged law will hopefully close the existing gap. Mokgethi says the envisaged law aims to give the Commissioner of Labour powers to appoint industrial boards ,which will review wages in the various industrial sectors.

Minister Mokgethi also acknowledged challenges faced by the teaching cadre such as hours of work, annual leave, invigilation, extra curricular activities, marking of examination papers, among others.
