BMWU moves on as wage talks end

FRANCISTOWN: Tati Nickel Mining Company (TNMC) says it has finally put to rest the issue of union members agitating for salary increment, at one point threatening to down tools at the mine.

TNMC public relations manager Tebogo Rapitsenyane said that their management has decided that the protracted wage negotiations with Botswana Mine Workers Union (BMWU) have been concluded. “The parties had been locked in negotiations since May 2013 and that included a series of both private and government mediations,” he stated.

He said that on June 2 the parties concluded their negotiations with a multi-year agreement on salaries and conditions of service for two financial years of 2013-2014 and 2014-2015.
