President John Dramani Mahama has called on the newly inaugurated National Labour Commission (NLC) to make fairness and timely resolution of disputes the foundation of its work, warning that public confidence in the institution depends on how it handles workers' grievances.
President John Dramani Mahama addressed the newly sworn-in members of the National Labour Commission (NLC) on November 13, urging them to prioritize fairness and timely resolution of workers' disputes. Mahama emphasized that the NLC's credibility relies heavily on how it addresses workers' grievances, as public confidence hinges on the institution's ability to handle cases fairly and without undue delays.
He highlighted the crucial role of the Commission in maintaining industrial peace and safeguarding workers' livelihoods. Upon swearing in the seven new members, Mahama stressed the importance of the NLC's role in maintaining consistency in decision-making to bolster its reputation. He encouraged the members to adhere strictly to the rules governing labor relations, ensuring that every complaint receives a just and prompt hearing.
Acknowledging the outgoing Commission's service, Mahama congratulated the new appointees and expressed gratitude to the retiring members for their contributions to the nation. The Commission, led by retired Court of Appeal Justice Isaac Delali Duose, comprises representatives from the Ghana Employers Association, Organized Labour, and presidential nominees.
Justice Duose pledged the Commission's commitment to transparency and impartiality, assuring that all cases would be addressed in accordance with these principles.
