FINNALY SOMEONE STOOD UP TO THE NLC

If there was one institution created by the Kuffour administration that was abhorent to the people of Ghana then it was the National Labour Commission (NLC). Since the draconian Labour Act of 2003 Act 653 was passed and established the NLC, this institution has made it impossible for workers in this country to express themselves in any way. The Act has virtually ostracized industrial action in this country.Since it was established, the NLC has at every opportunity dealt with labour unions unfairly while bootlickers masquerading as Labour consultants justified the NLC's unfair actions. even though the NLC was suppose to be an independent arbiter between workers and employers, they have always been biased in favour of employers. According to the Act they are supposed to enforce resolutions and binding agreements as well as resolve labour issues.However the NLC never enforced a single ruling against employers but always took harsh actions against Workers eve to the extent of pursuing expensive legal actions against workers. Now the NLC has met its match in the UTAG who are seriously challenging their authority and pushing to the middle where they should be.

Under this program it is envisaged that rapid public transport routes will be created on our already congested road for the sole purpose of transporting the public.

WEB MOBILE IS HERE

GREAT POTENTIAL FOR GHANA Last week Google unveiled Nexus One after several years of rumors and speculations amid the greatest fanfare only Google could conjure up in these times. The nexus One is a Mobile phone that the geeks at Google call a "super phone" . The nexus one is a 3.7Inch Touchscreen with a 1GHz Snapdragon Processor,a 5 megapixel camera with an LED flash and comes with accompanying GPS and and Compass.It runs the ANDROID mobile Operating System as expected. it is the first time the online giant has ventured into the hardware market. its intended to rival the I-phone and the badly trailing Blackberry. But more importantly this is to make sure the worlds biggest Internet company keeps itself at the top of the pile. Google has known for a long time that the web is going "mobile" and the biggest pie of the online market will thrive on mobile platforms so the Nexus one is to give Google direct control of at least a section of the mobile market and lock in advertisers and other customers. Tjhis is not the first time
