Dear Mr. President, could you remember that Nkrumah used to incite workers to strike against the Whiteman, but outlawed strikes in his regime and said they were unpatriotic when living conditions were genuinely difficult for workers?
Could you also remember that Rawlings used to incite TUC workers to strike against Liman's government to over throw it fraudulently? And could you remember that he used to take 'Kenkey' to Legon to demonstrate how the size had shrunk under Liman and we ended up in the "Rawlings's Chain" but nobody could talk? Could you further remember that Acheampong and Rawlings used the mild IMF conditions under Busia and Liman respectively as justifications for overthrowing their governments deceitfully? Could you still remember that PNDC reintroduced IMF and the World Bank with more stringent conditions after the coup without apologizing to Liman?
I don't know what the leftists are talking about, and I don't believe that NPP is behind the present wave of strikes either. As far as I know, NPP is only highlighting the failings and excesses of the NDC government, hopping that they would translate into votes for the party in the next elections. And that is, in fact, a genuine and legitimate politics since the failings are true and not false. Everybody in Ghana knows that cost of living under this NDC government is unbearable, and NPP is democratically seizing the opportunity to convince the electorate not to vote for NDC in the next elections.
Frankly, I don't see anything wrong with an opposition highlighting the failings of an incapable government to wrestle power from it democratically. NDC is the cause of the strikes because of the massive corruption, over spending, reckless borrowing and overall economic mismanagement that have brought untold hardship on Ghanaians. Moreover, NDC cannot frivolously spend $5bn of public money outside the budget in 2012 to buy the conscience of some gullible voters, and yet expect everything to be normal in the subsequent years without any difficulties in the economy.

How can you stop strikes when you are bent on refusing to excecute your commitment to workers? Talk is cheap. You have seen nothing yet. Small small boys government. Only empty heads.

on Tuesday, January 6, Minister of Employment and Labour Relations, Haruna Iddrisu expressed optimism that all concerns of the labour unions will be resolved before a flat deadline of up till June, this year.

“We will be proactive but largely many of the issues are about finance and the capacity of the budget to contain or not to contain [workers’] demands and the legitimacy of their request,” Labour Relations Minister Iddrisu said.
looking at the above statement shows a clear case of double standard or what i call contracadictory statement made by Minister of Employment and Labour Relations, Haruna Iddrisu expressed optimism that all concerns of the labour unions will be resolved before a flat deadline of up till June, this year.anybody that uses statements like this and then after says that 'but'....must be carefully watch..
