President Akufo-Addo has directed the Employment and Labour Relations Minister, Ignatius Baffour Awuah, to engage with Organised Labour to address issues surrounding the sale of four hotels belonging to the Social Security and National Insurance Trust (SSNIT) to Rock City Hotel.
The president’s move was confirmed by the general secretary of the Trades Union Congress (TUC), Dr Yaw Baah during a media engagement in Accra.
Organised Labour has petitioned President Akufo-Addo to halt the sale of the four SSNIT hotels to Rock City Hotel.
The president’s goal is to find a mutually acceptable solution to the dispute, ensuring that the interests of all stakeholders are considered, the TUC general secretary said.
He said, “We wrote to the president that we needed to engage him on this [sale of the four SSNIT hotels]. He has referred it to the minister to start the engagement with us.”
“We are hoping that these engagements will help all of us to find a solution to what we think is a problem.”
“We are going to meet with the SSNIT board. Organised Labour leaders are going to meet with the SSNIT board and also with the Employment and Labour Relations Minister who is also in charge of pensions,” Baah added.
