Botswana has moved some few steps forward in cultivating and nurturing for the existence of Trade Unions and the bargaining process, and how she has since moved, and is continuing to move many more steps backward, in the process reversing the gains.
This is not helped by the power struggles between the unions themselves.
An African maxim counsels that, "when two elephants fight it is the grass that suffers".
Botswana workers may be headed for a
rude awakening that their trade unions are not protecting their welfare
but instead engaged in power struggles that border on a clash of egos.
That is if Monday’s interim ruling by Industrial Court President Judge
Tebogo Maruping in the case between BOPEU and BOFEPUSU over admission of
the latter into the Bargaining Council is anything to go by.
