The author states that the conventional wisdom has viewed collective bargaining in the public service as unnecessary, impractical and illegal. And he adds that, in general, and until recently, the prevailing practices in the United States and Canada have been in close harmony with the conventional wisdom. But the restless change of events threatens the existing state of affairs, described by the conventional wisdom, with progressive obsolescence. And the author answers the two following questions: Can the industrial relations system of the private sector be applied to public employment? To what extent does the nature of government employment raise unique problems? The enemy of the conventional wisdom is not ideas but the march of events. J.K. GALBRAITH, « The Affluent Society »

Police labour relations in Botswana have been on the spotlight in recent years in Botswana. Whilst government in their Labour Policies appreciates the need for collective arrangements by employees to bargain for their conditions of service, the same favour has not been extended to the Police. It is always an issue for investigation why the Police find themselves managed by their own special Acts that explicitly prohibit them from organizing themselves for collective bargaining. This paper analyses unionization with regards to the Botswana Police Service. Whereas unionization is internationally recognized, the Police in Botswana find themselves prohibited from such action. The Trade Unions and Employers’ Organisations Act, the Public Service Act and the Police Act are analysed in order to find harmony amongst these pieces of legislation. It also draws lessons from other Police Services in Southern Africa to get an international experience.
