NLC orders suspension of National Roads Authority Act implementation
The National Labour Commission (NLC) has directed the government to suspend the implementation of the National Roads Authority Act, 2024 (Act 1118), following concerns raised by workers of the Ghana Highway Authority.
This decision comes after a closed-door meeting between the NLC, government representatives, and the Senior Staff Association and Workers Union of the Authority.
The directive includes an order for the government to engage with the workers to address their grievances and ensure a collaborative approach to resolving the issues surrounding the new legislation.
In a reciprocal directive, the commission has instructed workers to hold off on any planned industrial action, urging both parties to prioritise dialogue over confrontation to prevent disruptions in the country’s road infrastructure management.
The National Chairman of the Ghana Highway Authority Workers Union, Noble Yasroku, addressing the workers after the meeting, noted: “We want to announce to you that the labour commission has ruled in our favour.
“The position is that workers of Ghana Highway Authority have not been consulted, they are a lot of things that they have to do before the implementation of the act and they have asked them to suspend all their activities.”
