The Secretary-General of the Ghana Federation of Labour(GFL), Abraham Koomson, has cautioned that Ghanaian workers could face renewed hardship if the New Patriotic Party returns to power in 2028.
According to him, the experience of workers under the party’s previous administration was characterised by significant challenges, raising concerns about the potential impact of a future NPP government on labour conditions.
Speaking on Ahotor FM on Saturday, March 28, Koomson urged Ghanaians to remain cautious and not be swayed by what he described as misleading political narratives, especially those of the Minority.
“Workers suffered under the NPP, and they will suffer again if Ghanaians buy into their promises and return them to power,” he warned.
He referred to the implementation of anti-worker policies like Frozen Bonds, the Domestic Debt Exchange Programme(DDEP), and the closure of private banks, which caused massive job losses across the country.
He also called on labour union leaders to stay focused and avoid partisan influence, emphasising the need to prioritise the welfare and interests of workers above political considerations.
Koomson further expressed concern about what he described as a sudden shift in the NPP's posture, cautioning that it should not be misconstrued as a genuine transformation.
“They cannot change overnight. Workers must be very careful,” he stated.
He concluded by urging workers and union leaders to remain vigilant and make informed decisions that will protect their livelihoods and long-term well-being.
