Ghana Federation of Labour challenges TUC over May Day decisions

The Ghana Federation of Labour (GFL) is hitting out at the Trade Union Congress (TUC) for sidelining it in core decision-making during the May Day celebrations on Thursday.

In a letter addressed to the General Secretary of TUC, the labour group outlined a four-point statement of concern, noting that it had been treated with “disrespect” at the Black Star Square where the event was held.

On the suspension of the Chief Justice, Her Lordship Gertrude Torkonoo, GFL observed that the matter had not come up in prior deliberations, therefore, they found it inappropriate that the General Secretary had expressed concern about it during his address.

“That matter had not been deliberated among the leadership of organised labour, and to issue such a public pronouncement without thorough legal consultation was premature, presumptuous, and inconsistent with the principles of due process,” the labour group’s Secretary General , Abraham Koomson, wrote in part.

In the letter, he accused TUC of failing to mention any of the priorities of it outfit, saying GFL found it “offensive and unacceptable”.

The group also claimed that the TUC General Secretary’s address on illegal mining was not discussed. It warned that “any recommitment by organised labour to that cause must be thoroughly discussed and agreed upon through collective leadership”.

It will be recalled that in the lead-up to the 2024 general election, Organized Labour declared its intention to embark on a strike to call attention to the disturbing scourge of galamsey. The group backed down after then President Nana Akufo-Addo announced bolstered plans to address the problem.

Rounding up their grievances, the GFL said it was “regrettable” that it had not been allowed to deliver a solidarity message at the celebration grounds.

It suggested an urgent meeting with Organized Labour to “prevent further erosion of trust and foster genuine unity among labour stakeholders”.
