BOFEPUSU Vs Government, a case in which BOFEPUSU challenges a temporary order of the Industrial Court in a 3% case especially the interpretation of the scope of the Public Service Bargaining Council (PSBC).

An appeal against the high court judgment of 9th December 2016 in a case that the BOFEPUSU wanted the employer to return to the bargaining table, which the high court dismissed on lack of urgency.

The Special Congress also resolved to mandate the leadership of the federation to continue to defend Public Service Bargaining Council and the bigger principle of collective bargaining, which is evidently under attack with all its might, even if it means further delaying an increment for financial year 2016/17.

The Special congress further resolved to mandate the leadership of the affiliate unions’ regions and branches to move urgently to resuscitate the regional structures of the federations that would drive regional membership mobilization and information dissemination

It further resolved that the federation should resort to mass demonstrations as of the beginning next year 2017 to make the public and all stakeholders aware of the government’s infringements on workers’ rights Lastly, Congress resolved to engage stakeholders, international partners and the ILO on the proposed amendments and already amended labour laws that infringe on international labour standards and ILO conventions.
