It is emerging that another worker union has been established and it's calling for a formal recognition from the Employment and Labour Relations Ministry.
The new union is led by the former Executive Director of the Civil and Local Government Staff Association of Ghana (CLOGSAG), Isaac Bampoe-Addo.
This becomes the third worker force in the country including the Ghana Trades Union Congress (TUC) and the Ghana Federation of Labour (GFL).
The FORUM for Public Sector Associations and Unions as it is called has written formally to Ignatius Baffour Awuah, the minister for Employment and Labour Relations on Friday, April 16, 2021 to recognize them in the May Day celebrations.
They argue that it is time the country recognized trade centre plurality.
“The FORUM, therefore, decided that starting from this year 2021 the organisation of May Day celebrations should be done under the auspices of the three Labour Centres in the country namely the Ghana Trades Union Congress (TUC), the Ghana Federation of Labour (GFL) and the Forum for Public Sector Associations and Unions.
“It is in this context that the FORUM believes that May Day celebrations would take on a national character recognising Labour Centres in Ghana”, the group argues.
