The University of Botswana Staff Union, formerly the University of Botswana Non-Academic Staff Union (UBNASU) is a trade union affiliate of the Botswana Federation of Trade Unions (BFTU).
Gadzani Mhotsha, General Secretary of the UBNASU, also served as general secretary of the BFTU.[1]
Strikes
[edit]In November 2006, UBNASU took strike action against university management in a dispute over access to parking.[2] In September 2010, UBNASU along with the University of Botswana Academic and Senior Support Staff Union (UBASSSU), opposed salary adjustments at the university which would have seen the vice-chancellor's salary increase 100 percent. Both unions called off strike actions when the salary increase was scrapped.[3]
