Tripartite Committee rises without agreement

The tripartite committee negotiating for a new minimum wage for workers rose from their meeting on Monday without any agreement.

The Committee, however, agreed to have further consultations on Thursday on the various proposals.

A source close to the Ministry of Manpower Development and Employment, who spoke to the GNA, declined to give details of the proposals.

Mrs Cecilia Bannerman, Minister of Manpower Development and Employment, had promised demonstrating workers of the Tema District Council of Labour last Wednesday when they presented a petition to her that the Committee was likely to come out with a new minimum wage last Thursday.

A previous meeting on the issue last week ended in deadlock after the stakeholders failed to reach a consensus on the thorny issues of productivity, the economy and inflation.

The TUC is proposing a 68 per cent increase in the daily minimum wage currently pegged at 7,150 cedis.

The government is, however, reported to be offering a 12.5 per cent increase.
