Botswana strike escalates as government sacks 'essential' workers

Some 90,000 public sector workers have struck for over a month demanding a 16 percent wage increase. The government has fired workers who defied a court order to return to work.

Does it appear that the government is sabotaging a solution?

Send solidarity messages to the president of BOFEPUSU, Masego Mogwera: masegomogwera@yahoo.com. It may not do very much, but it can't hurt.
