President John Dramani Mahama has sworn in a new seven-member board of the National Labour Commission (NLC), directing them to prioritise speed, fairness, and transparency in delivering timely workplace justice.
The President urged the new leadership to restore public confidence by ensuring consistent and prompt adjudication of labour disputes.
He noted that the commission’s credibility is essential for building trust among social partners, ensuring stability and industrial peace, and safeguarding workers’ livelihoods and investment security.
“A worker with a grievance wants to know that somebody will hear it and deal with it fairly and expeditiously. And the National Labour Commission has a responsibility to apply rules to the letter,” he noted.
The President congratulated the commission members and thanked their predecessors for their dedicated service to the nation.
Responding on behalf of the team, the new chair, Justice (Rtd.) Isaac Delali Duose, thanked the President for the opportunity and trust, and pledged to fulfil their mandate with fairness and transparency.
Other board members are Joseph Kingsley Amuah and Isaac Sackey, representing the Ghana Employers Association (GEA); Prince William Ankrah and Abdul-Samad Ali Gomdah, representing Organised Labour; and Madam Rosemond Freeman-Tettey and Antwi-Boasiako Sekyere, as government nominees.
