President John Dramani Mahama has sworn in a new seven-member National Labour Commission, urging it to rebuild public confidence in Ghana’s labour dispute resolution system through fair, consistent and speedy decisions.
The President said the Commission’s credibility was essential to creating trust in stable and fair workplaces and protecting the livelihoods of Ghanaians.
“A worker with a grievance wants to know that somebody will hear it and deal with it fairly and expeditiously. And the National Labour Commission has a responsibility to apply rules to the letter,” he said.
The Commission is chaired by Justice Isaac Delali Duose, a retired Justice of the Court of Appeal.
Its membership includes Joseph Kingsley Amuah and Isaac Sackey, who represent the Ghana Employers Association.
Organised Labour is represented by Prince William Ankrah and Abdul-Samad Ali Gomdah, while Rosemond Freeman-Tettey and Antwi-Boasiako Sekyere are presidential nominees.
Addressing the newly appointed members, President Mahama congratulated them on their appointment and thanked the previous Commission for its service to Ghana.
Justice Duose, speaking on behalf of the Commission, expressed appreciation to the President for the confidence placed in them.
He pledged that the members would carry out their responsibilities transparently and fairly in all matters brought before the Commission.
