After a marathon of engagements between striking labor unions and government, the two parties have now agreed on a 15% Cost of Living Allowance to be paid to all public sector workers.
It takes retrospective effect from July 1, 2022.
But the Unions, per what Plan B News is learning, stood on their grounds for a 20% COLA.
With this new agreement, all planned industrial actions have been suspended immediately.
This was the third meeting between the government and labour unions since the demand for COLA started.
The delegation from the government side was the Minister for National Security, Albert Kan-Dapaah, Minister for Education, Dr Yaw Adutwum, Minister for Employment and Labour Relations, Ignatius Baffler Awuah and Finance Minister, Ken Ofori Attah together with his Deputy Abena Osei Asare.
A meeting between both parties on Tuesday was adjourned due to the refusal of some labour unions to call off their strike before negotiations commence.
