The Fair Wages and Salaries Commission (FWSC) recently engaged with Organised Labour to discuss transitioning from FWSC to the Independent Public Emoluments Commission (IPEC).

The proposed IPEC would replace Act 737 (2007) and address issues like pay fragmentation, politicisation, and rising wage bills.
Dr George Smith-Graham, FWSC's CEO, emphasized that the transition should improve the compensation system rather than merely changing the name.

More than 50 labour groups attended, including the TUC, GFL, CLOGSAG, GNAT, NAGRAT, UTAG, TEWU, GRNMA, GMA, and JUSAG.
