He said it will not only address TEWU-TUC, Ghana's grievances, but also the concerns of other unions threatening strike action. According to the Minister, efforts are underway to reach out to TEWU leadership for further talks.

Dr Rashid Pelpuo assured that the government is committed to addressing the concerns of all stakeholders and finding a solution that works for everyone.
