NO ONE IS HAPPY WHEN NDC IS GIVING RAW DEALS AND BITTER PILLS TO GHANAIAN WORKERS TO SWALLOW WHILE ALL THE NDC DOES IS AMASS WEALTH AT THE EXPENSE OF THE ORDINARY WORKER. ALL NDC THIEVE WHO ARE IN POWER STEALING GHANA MONEY, THINK TWICE THAT IS NOT THE END OF LIFE, YOU THINK YOUVE GOT GHANA ON A CHEAPSIDE SO YOU CAN DO WHAT YOU WANT NPP HAS SENSIBLE PEOPLE WHO CAN ADDRESS THE PROBLES OF THE COUNTRY. IF EVEN THEY STEAL MONEY THEY THINK ABOUT THE MASSES. NDC ALWAYS HAVE NPP TO BLAME THEY DONT HAVE ANSWERS TO THE ECONONMIC PROBLEMS IN GHANA. I DONT THINK KWAE NYAME WILL BLESS ANYONE WHO STAEL MONEY FOR ALL. I DONT KNOW WHY NDC PEOPLE ARE EYE RED FOR MONEY, I THINK ITS BECAUSE THEY ARE HALF EDUCATED AND DONT CARE ABOUT CONSEQUENCES OF THEIR ACTION. THEY SHOULD CONTINUE STEALING A TIME WILL SOON COME EVEN WHEN THEY SEE MONEY THEY WILL NOT KNOW WHAT IT IS.

I still do not get your point. You are just trying to politicize the issue. It doesn't matter what NPP says. Do the workers have a legitimate reason to go on strike. If the answer is yes then whether NPP is happy or sad is not the issue, the NDC gov't has to deal with the workers agitation and fix the problem. Again NPP's wrong prediction on the dollar is not the issue. Ghanaians started the year with the dollar at 2.2 cedis and now it is 3.2 cedis. That is simply the issue. Deal with it and forget about NPP. NDC's whole life should not be based on what NPP thinks but how Ghanaians are affected.

I have been following your articles and come to the conclusion that, you are one of many ghanaians who had the chance to migrate to USA under Chairman Rawlings scholarship scheme and never returned to serve mother Ghana and yet want to be heard of.
Your analogy of a farmer and his mango trees, orange, guave and so forth don't make a single sense. Labelling the entire NPP fraternity as non-Ghanaians is absolutely nonsense. Get it into your sense that there are sensible Ghanaians out there in NDC, NPP, CPP and other parties who do not follow or vote blindly as you do.
Now back to the issue at stake of the Tier 2 Pension Scheme which is a laudable retirement programme that was made possible by an act of parliament and its inception in 2010. You live in Washington Metro Area and may work for the Federal,State Government or Private Enterpirse. Have you ever participated in any of the Retirement Programmes your Employer offers and not knowing your Fund Managers and also not receiving a Statement of your Investment for the 4-year period? What a crap you are talking about here? Beside receiving your statements either monthly or quarterly, you have the option to login and manage your own investments by changing portfolios which you seem comfortable with. Yes, the Minortiy Leader-Mr. Kyei-Mensah had made an allegation about the fund, it is the responsibility of your government to refute the allegation by within a week or two, send statements to participants to cool off all the nonsense of the government if the said "Fund" had not been misappropriated.
Yes, it is crystal clear that who ever takes the reigns of government in 2017 is coming to inherit submerged economy by your irresponsible and visionless leader.

Lawrence Appiah Osei the workers have every right to go on strike.
Yhis government of the incompetent NDC is already making life very hard for the working Ghanaian.
The workers are seing the very NDC schemes used to loot the country's coffers such as is found in GYEEDA;SADA;SUBAH;NSS and many more and need to protect their hard saved pension fund, and that is not wrong.
Lawrence you have being beating around the bush. The workers have right to be on strike. The real problem is that this NDC government is very corrupt, and is destroying Ghana's economy which Dr. Bawumia told them long before, only (Yentie Obiara} they will not listen to anybody, and guess what? They are today at IMF begging. Is this the type of government we need in Ghana?

Proofread your comments. We say "labour unrest" not the other way. Why don't we blame NPP? Your statements and actions will expose the sort of person are you. Did you listen to all the NPP and their leaders? None of them asked the unions to call off the strike. Now that the court has ordered them to go, let us see what they will do. When the NPP was making noise about Ibrahim Mahama's debt, they forgot some of their leaders also owe the bank. Have you heared the NPP talking about it after Ibrahim paid off his debt? This is the type of people we have in Ghana. Gabby Otchere said they will make Ghana ungovernable and they are doing it. The NPP are fortunate to have a God fearing president. Most of these fools who listen to politicians would have been sacked if they will feed them. The ghost of Apedwahene will never leave Akuffo Addo's family alone to become president after his father and uncles murdered him. The foolish and crazy Okoampah ahoofe does not comment on that but lies.

John Mahama and his NDC cronies are encouraging Ghanaian workers to go on strike by virtue of John Mahama's ineptitude, incompetence and behind the scene dealings.Since John Mahama got Atuguba's blessings to rule Ghana,corruptions and backdoor dealings have become the order of the day.John Mahama's unleashed corruption touches virtually every aspect of life and is accepted throughout NDC party as normal and necessary. Now,they have the temerity to blame NPP for Ghanaian workers strikes and demonstrations as if Ghanaian workers don't the mind of their own, this is a profound insult to the intelligence of Ghanaian workers.The brave forces of social justce and economic freedom will prevail come 2016.Please make no mistake and don't take the goodwill and leniency of Ghanaians for granted because Atuguba would not be around to rescue John Mahama. The spirit of Burkinabees is preparing the well-meaning Ghanaians for the true battle of economic and social emancipation. Ghanaians are tired of NDC corruptions, economic mismanagement and ethnic discriminations. The NDC as a political party is a potential enemy to the good people of Ghana due to its lack of accountability, probity and integrity

They don't care. All they want is a way back to the thrown and complete the Ga lands grabbing and other Govt property. Did they care when women were dying in 2000, "No", not when it suited their purpose. But what did we see, one year later? 40 innocent Dagombas and their King were gunned down. The NPP have no morals. For them, the end justifies the means. What ever it would take to keep the fire burning until they come to power, is good for them. But we live to see.

Ghanaian workers have the right to strike to address any grievances after exhausting all prescribed avenues to seek redress. What they don't have a right to, in my humble opinion, is to expect to be paid when they are not working. I am no Ghanaian Labour Law expert, but it baffles my mind that workers go on strike for weeks, and sometimes months, and expect every penny (pesewa) for all the days that they were out not working. If the Unions in Ghana are expected to or made to pay their members from a designated strike fund, we would definitely have less strikes and more negotiations.
As a strong believer in Unions, I sometimes marvel at the use of strikes as the only means of attaining workers' goals. The society as a whole suffers when we fallow without producing anything.
I am sure there are bodies set up, hopefully independently, to address issues between organized labour and employers in Ghana. Let's strengthen these bodies to do their work and reduce the incidence of strikes in our country.
Let's us not be politically naive - NPP may not be behind the strikes but who benefits from making the gov't of the day unpopular. Some may think that the foul atmosphere these agitations bring about favour the opposition, hence the appearance of encouraging these agitations. The result will be worse economic condition, digging ourselves a deeper hole, which will be difficult for any gov't, this one and future ones to dig themselves out of.
There is an Akan proverb, roughly translated, which says when your neighbor's beard is on fire, look for water and place it by your side, because next time the beard that would be on fire could be yours.
If strike (or striking) is the only weapon/means available to the current generation of workers' leaders, who says they would not use it against the next gov't most likely to be formed by the NPP?
