Labour consultant, Mr Austin Gamey, has noted that the middle-income aspirations of Ghana are attainable by the year 2015 if the country’s Labour Law will be allowed to regulate industrial relations.
He described the Labour Law as capable of transforming the country’s industrial landscape to ensure peace and harmony and said allowing it to govern industrial relations among social partners would help the country on its journey towards the attainment of a middle-income status by 2015 and other development indices.
Speaking to the executive members of the Customs, Excise and Preventive Service (CEPS) local union from the Headquarters, James Town, Airport and Tema divisions on the Labour Law in Accra yesterday, Mr Gamey was emphatic that the Labour Law of Ghana was the best so far and that it was “reasonably adequate” in dealing with any labour issue in the country.
He disagreed with the notion that the law was inadequate because of the numerous industrial disputes the country experienced last year but rather blamed the social partners, who he said did not have the requisite knowledge on the law, as well as an understanding of that knowledge to functionally implement it.
Speaking under the six main themes, Mr Gamey, who is also the Chief Executive Officer of the Gamey and Gamey Academy of Mediation (GGAM), charged the CEPS local union executives to make the difference in their stewardship clear by their leadership qualities, as well as their understanding of the law.
