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.
