The Minister for Employment and Labor Relations, Ignatius Baffuor Awuah, has uncovered that the government will this year, increment the 4% compensation increase for public sector workers to 7 percent.
"We needed to haggle with the leadership of organised labour and in the process we needed to concur that we likewise must be unobtrusive in our solicitation on the public kitty.
"That is the way we finished at the 4%. Mr President, interestingly, we are continuing on and we had concurred that coming into this current year the 4% will presently don't exist and that we will give instructors a 7 percent increase," he said while talking at the sixth Quadrennial National Delegates Conference of the Ghana National Association of Teachers (GNAT) in Kumasi on Tuesday January 4, an occasion that was gone to by President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo.
The public authority had before last year, expanded compensation by 4%, a choice that was vigorously gone against by trade guilds including GNAT.
The associations were requiring a higher rate increase.
The President of GNAT, Ms Philipa Larsen, was accounted for to have said later the augmentation that "We are approaching the President; in any case, there would be no harmony, and the nation would become unmanageable," she cautioned.
As per her, "the current arrangement of compensation in the public area isn't reasonable; it inclines toward certain classes of office holders in the public help."
