The workers will be most hurt

Ever since mid-2015, BOFEPUSU and its affiliate, Botswana Public Employees Union (BOPEU), have been as loggerheads.

At its congress held in Palapye two weeks ago, BOPEU resolved to pull out of BOFEPUSU citing among other reasons, the federation’s political alignment with the Umbrella for Democratic Change (UDC), the bad blood between the leadership of BOPEU and BOFEPUSU as well as differences in what the two unions stand for. It is a pity that the leadership of the two organisations have failed to resolve their differences.
