Organised Labour pledges support for IPEC establishment
Organised Labour has assured the government of its commitment to actively participate in establishing the Independent Public Emoluments Commission (IPEC). The Secretary-General of the Trades Union Congress (TUC), Joshua Ansah, made the pledge on behalf of the group during a two-day stakeholder engagement in Accra.
Organized Labour has committed to collaborating with the government on the establishment of the Independent Public Emoluments Commission (IPEC), as affirmed by TUC Secretary-General Joshua Ansah during a Stakeholder Engagement in Accra. The two-day meeting, co-organized by the Fair Wages and Salaries Commission (FWSC) and the Ministry of Labour Jobs and Employment, aimed to inform labour leaders about the transition to IPEC and gather their insights for the IPEC draft Bill.
Ansah emphasized Organised Labour's dedication to monitoring the process and contributing critical inputs to ensure the commission's success. He urged the government to maintain continuous involvement from labor groups to foster broad ownership of the new compensation framework. Ansah cautioned against a half-hearted, piecemeal approach to public sector pay reforms, advocating for a holistic, comprehensive solution.
The proposed IPEC Bill would repeal the Fair Wages and Salaries Commission Act, 2007 (Act 737), aiming to tackle pay fragmentation, salary politicization, and escalating wage bill pressures. The meeting convened over 50 labor representatives under the theme "Towards an Independent, Equitable, and Sustainable Compensation System: Stakeholders’ Perspectives on Ghana’s Public Sector Pay Reforms."
