Ongoing negotiations before the government and the organized labour.organized labour has has proposed a 60% increment in the base pay for the year 2023.The deputy general secretary of the TUC, Joshua Ansah has given his opinion. He opined that if the government fails to meet the demands of organized labor in the ongoing wage negotiation, workers will work fewer days.
That is taking into consideration the current harsh economic conditions and low salaries they receive from the Government. If the Government fails to increase their pay by 60%, they would start working for a few days. Thus making it clear that an increase is what they seek.
He said it was only reasonable that Government heeds their request, especially with the recent economic conditions.
He said “We do not think this is the time for Government to tell us money is not there and there’s no way to pay us, then if the money is not there, let us find a way of regulating our week. Whether to come to work once a week, thrice a week and so on and so forth. This is to commensurate the money that we’re being paid”
Organized labor cited the rising inflation and the 15% cost of living allowance (COLA). This was granted on the national daily minimum wage as grounds for their proposal in a letter. The letter was signed by TUC general secretary, DR. Yaw Baah.
