Accra (Greater Accra) 18 March ’99
The Trades Union Congress (TUC) has called for a review of labour laws of the country. There is the need to develop a common perspective for organised labour on the review which should include a repeal of all obsolete laws on labour, Mr Alex Bonney, chairman of the TUC has said at a workshop in Accra. He said the labour laws in the country “should be updated and brought together, since most of the laws are scattered. The workshop was sponsored by the Friedrich Ebert Foundation and attended by about 45 officials drawn from the Civil Servants Association(CSA), the Ghana Registered Nurses Association, and all the 17 affiliated unions of the TUC. It was held in preparation towards a tripartite workshop scheduled for May to deliberate on draft labour law proposals.
