The invitation, issued on behalf of John Dramani Mahama, highlights the government’s commitment to strengthening collaboration between the government and workers in addressing key national issues.
According to the formal communication, the dialogue is intended to provide a structured, frank, and solution-oriented platform for engagement between the Government and Organised Labour. The meeting will focus on critical issues affecting the public sector and the welfare of Ghanaian workers. Among the major topics outlined are public sector salary reforms, pension sustainability, and broader labour market challenges.
The President, according to the release, considers the dialogue a priority initiative aimed at building consensus around reforms that are fair, transparent, and sustainable, while also safeguarding worker welfare and promoting social justice.
All relevant stakeholders have been copied on the letter and are expected to nominate their representatives for the dialogue. The engagement aims to reinforce Ghana’s longstanding tradition of social partnership and constructive negotiation between the state and labour unions.
