The Executive Secretary of the National Labour Commission (NLC), Ofosu Asamoah, has lashed out at the labour unions within the educational sector currently on strike, describing their action as ‘unmeritorious’ and ‘needless’.
.
Some of the labour unions complained about the employer’s reluctance to address their welfare needs, including tier-two pension funds, vehicle maintenance allowance, and overtime allowance, among others.
.
Ofosu lashed out at the labour unions for their hasty decisions despite negotiations with the Commission.
.
You leave the commission and go and declare a strike, and all others have also joined.
You have put something across, and you have agreed, why go on strike when your issues have been resolved.
Why do you want to be on strike when those issues that have not been resolved are being resolved by your good self?”
.
He further described the actions by the labour unions as ‘wrong’ and unlawful.’
