The leadership of the Labour Commission is meeting angry workers threatening to embark on strike.The workers accuse the leadership and the Fair Wages and Salary Commission (FWSC) of failing to migrate them onto the new pay policy - Single Spine Salary Structure (SSSS).The threats of strike by the Labour Commission workers come at a time when the Commission is at the fore-front mediating between angry public workers - teachers, doctors, prisons and police service personnel etc - and the Fair Wages and Salary Commission over implementation of the SSSS.Civil servants at one time or another protested the delays by the Fair Wages and Salary Commission to migrate them onto the SSSS.It is now the turn of the administrative staff of the Labour Commission and they have served notice to management that they will lay down their tools if they are not migrated onto the SSSS.The workers also claim management is thwarting their efforts to form a union which will seek their interest at all times.Head of the Commission, Joseph Aryittey confirmed to Joy News’ Israel Laryea on Wednesday that the threats of strike by the workers have come to his notice.He said management is working assiduously with the Fair Wages and Salary Commission to migrate them onto the SSSS."Every worker who is honest to him or her self knows that we are working to migrate them onto the SSSS," he pointed out.He said the FWSC is working according to its timetable and hopefully by the end of the year, workers of the Labour Commission will be migrated onto the SSSS.Mr. Aryittey also dismissed allegations that management is preventing the workers from forming a union.Per the country’s constitution, every worker has the right to be part of a union, and Mr. Aryiteey insisted the Commission will not take that right away from them.He explained however that before such a union is formed, there are procedures that must be followed and that is what the commission is insisting on.“They should go by the laid down statutes and they will be allowed to form a union,” he noted.
