Botswana Bank Employees Union (BOBEU) instituted a law suit against Barclays Bank Of Botswana after 17 Union members were dismissed by Barclays Bank under the pretext of ‘Poor performance’, as the Union viewed it.
 
The matter has been ongoing since September 2011 before the Botswana High Court in pursuit for justice for the dismissed employees. The dismissed employees could not secure employment owing to their dismissals they could only be issued with certificate of service and were given 1 month notice in lieu of notice during their dismissals by Barclays Bank. We had sort the intervention of Uni Global Union through Uni General Secretary Phillip Jennings, Uni Finance President Joe Kokela and Uni Global Union website cataloguing events of Union activities against the Bank during that time.
 
On the 4th September 2013 Barclays Bank Botswana  and BOBEU reached an out of court settlement for dismissed employees to be paid 12 Months Salary for all and be issued with references.
