During Dr Abdul-Rashid Pelpuo's time as Minister of State for Special Initiatives, he claims to have successfully avoided approximately 90% of the industrial actions planned by organized labor. At the start of his tenure, 17 potential strike actions had been reported by various worker groups. The Labour Ministry made it a priority to engage in dialogue and negotiations with the affected groups, aiming to address their concerns and prevent disruptions to public services.
Dr Pelpuo stated that through meetings, active listening, and cooperation with both labor leaders and relevant stakeholders, they managed to convince almost 90% of the groups to abandon their strike plans. One notable case was the Ghana Association of University Administrators (GAUA), which presented its concerns to the Labour Ministry, leading to subsequent discussions with the workers and the Ministry of Education to find solutions.
Dr Pelpuo highlighted the significance of sustained dialogue and collaboration between government and organized labor in resolving disputes before they escalate into industrial action.
