The National Labour Commission has set a deadline of Wednesday, August 2, for Sunon Asogli Power Limited to reach a final decision on the demand for the reinstatement of three dismissed union executives of the Trades Union Congress (TUC).
TUC has expressed its disappointment with Sunon Asogli’s refusal to reinstate their union leaders, asserting that the terminations were wrongful.
In response, the National Labour Commission has intervened and demanded a prompt resolution to the matter by Wednesday, August 2.
The union declared a strike on July 10, 2023, but it was later called off following the Council of State’s intervention demanding more time to engage stakeholders and resolve the matter amicably.
During the National Executive Council Meeting of the Ghana Mineworkers Union of TUC, Joshua Ansah, the Deputy Secretary General of TUC, stated that the outcome of the meeting would determine their next course of action.
“The strike was suspended and not abandoned, anything that has been suspended can be reactivated at any time. Don’t get sad that we have suspended it, we want to assure you that our demand is that our three brothers will have to be reinstated. Last Wednesday, myself, the deputy, secretary general, met with the National Labour Commission, upon invitation. And they have given the management of Sunon Asogli tomorrow August 2 to make a decision,” he said.
Meanwhile, Abdul Moomin Gbana, the General Secretary of the Ghana Mine Workers Union of the TUC, has urged the Council of State to promptly address their concerns and work towards a resolution.
“In the interest of peace and harmony, we would like to remind the Council of State and by extension the government about the commitments made to Organized Labour, to peacefully resolve the matter. And therefore, urge them to prioritise the resolution of the matter without any delay,” Abdul Moomin Gbana stated.
