GFL bemoans lack of clear procedures in decision-making in Organized Labour

The Ghana Federation of Labour (GFL) has officially discontinued its legal action against the Trade Union Congress (TUC) regarding the appointment of Briku Boadu as the Board Chairman of the National Labour Commission (NLC).
The case, filed under suit number INDL/14 at the High Court’s Labour Division, was titled Ghana Federation of Labour led by Mr Abraham Koomson vs. Attorney-General and Mr. Kofi Asamoah, Secretary General of the Trade Union Congress.
The GFL, a member of Organised labour, had expressed dissatisfaction with the process leading to Mr. Boadu's appointment as NLC Chairman.
They contended that the procedure lacked transparency and had bypassed proper consultations within organized labour.
In a settlement reached between the two parties, the TUC acknowledged that the absence of clear procedures and guidelines for decision-making within organised labour was a significant factor contributing to the dispute.
The Employers Association played a crucial role in mediating between the GFL and the TUC, working to address the underlying issues and foster unity within the labour front.
As part of the agreement, the GFL has discontinued its legal action against the TUC.
Both parties have committed to collaborating with other labour unions, the Employers Association and the Ministry of Employment and Labour Relations to draft a comprehensive working document within six months.
This document will include: A clear working definition of the term "Organised Labour." An organisational structure for decision-making within the labour movement.
The resolution aims to prevent future conflicts and ensure a more coordinated approach to decision-making among all key stakeholders on the labour front.
