BDLive reports that the National Education Health and Allied Workers Union (Nehawu) on Tuesday threatened a nationwide strike should the Department of Home Affairs continue to push for the creation of a border management agency.
The union hit out at the alleged failure by the department to provide a "sound rationale" for the creation of a standalone border management agency whose officers would perform all law enforcement functions at all ports of entry in the country. This was despite the department maintaining that the working conditions of employees would be in the ambit of the public service.
