Government and Trade Union Movement Cant Afford To Be Enemeies

While the historic case surely rubber-stamps the rule of law and underlining that no one even the President can be above the law, perhaps most importantly this is one case that defines the deep differences between the Government led by Ian Khama as President and the labour movement led by Johnson Motshwarakgole.

Since Government decided to play hard ball with the trade Union, going as far as frustrating the trade Union efforts including reversing laws, taking away their  organisational rights, the trade Union movement did not just fold arms. In 2014 they came very close to deciding  who  won the General Elections, and many agree that they will be a decisive factor once again in 2019.
