We’ll address all labour agitations – National Labour Commission pledges
The National Labour Commission (NLC) has assured that it will do all it can to address the current labour agitations in the country.
A member of the Commission, Rose Kakari Anang pledged the NLC’s commitment to bring peace to the labour front.
Speaking at the inauguration of the Board of the National Labour Commission at the Jubilee House, she said, “I can assure you that we are ready to work to establish industrial peace, which is imperative for socio-economic development.”
The Trades Union Congress has warned that its members may join the ongoing strike declared by teacher unions over the government’s failure to pay their Cost of Living Allowance (COLA).
Though the government has appealed to the four teacher unions and other unions who have expressed interest in joining the strike to bear with the government, aggrieved workers are adamant that their demands must be met.
“Times are hard because of the Russia-Ukraine war and Covid-19. We all feel the heat. We perfectly understand their plight. But then we are quite handicapped because the economic crisis is beyond us. We are only asking that they bear with us as we try to meet their demands,” the Deputy Employment and Labour Relations Minister, Bright Wireko Brobbey told the press.
