  • Repression of Public Sector Trade Unions in Botswana
    His Excellency Lt General Seretse Khama Ian Khama President of Botswana Private Bag 001 GABORONE BOTSWANA Fax: +26 7 390 2795 File Reference: PW/CK Contact Name: Chidi King - Tel:+33 4 50 40 11 70 Copies: Regional and sub-regional offices Botswana affiliates BOFEPUSU ITUC Brussels and Geneva offices 16 April 2012 Dear Mr President, Repression of public sector trade unions in Botswana It is almost a year since Public Services International (PSI) wrote to you concerning government repression of public sector workers, who were exercising their legitimate right to take strike action. We very much regret that since then your government’s attitude to this legitimate action has hardened. Despite several meetings between PSI and government officials, and despite the intervention of the International Labour Organization (ILO), the Botswana government has intensified actions designed to intimidate trade unionists and suppress lawful trade union action. Those actions include: The mass dismissal of public sector workers who took part in the strike action; The selective re-employment of some of the dismissed workers, on terms and conditions less favourable than those they had originally enjoyed; The designation of almost all Botswana public services as essential services, contrary to International Labour Standards, as has already been pointed out by the ILO; The continued harassment and intimidation of trade union activists and the unilateral withdrawal of benefits that public sector trade unions had previously enjoyed; The denial of the right to organise and bargain collectively, as exemplified by the government’s refusal to enter into wage negotiations for 2012-2013. We are at a complete loss to see how this refusal by the Botswana government to entertain a meaningful social dialogue with public sector trade unions and to respect their fundamental trade union rights and Public Services International is a global trade union federation representing 20 million working women and men who deliver vital public services in 150 countries.

TRADE UNION PARTICIPATION IN THE PRSP ∗ PROCESS Lawrence Egulu August 2004 ∗ PRSP Poverty Reduction Strategy Paper EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The PRSP approach offers an opportunity for civil society organizations to join governments in the development and implementation of poverty reduction strategies. Trade unions have been encouraged to participate. This report notes that most unions have been invited to the discussions leading to formulation of the PRSPs but none has been included in the drafting, implementation, monitoring or evaluation. Based on findings from 23 PRSP countries, the study identifies a number of weaknesses and shortcomings which have limited the effective participation of trade unions, mainly capacity issues, time constraints, and lack of structured participatory processes.
