Case No 2500 (Botswana) - Complaint date: 12-JUN-06

Botswana Federation of Trade Union (BFTU)

Allegations

The complainant alleges that the employer interfered with internal trade union affairs, dismissed the entire union leadership for having produced information on salary scales at the bargaining table and for inciting workers to go on strike for better working conditions, and dismissed 461 workers employed at three diamond mines under the pretext that they provide essential services. It also alleges that there is no adequate dispute resolution process to deal with the demands of these workers and that the Government had failed to intervene, even though it had been fully informed of the situation. The employer also resorted unduly to the judicial process to harass workers and their union, which was destabilized and financially affected
