Observation (CEACR) - adopted 1997, published 86th ILC session (1998)

Right to Organise and Collective Bargaining Convention, 1949 (No. 98) - Ghana (Ratification: 1959)

The Committee notes that the Government's report has not been received. It must therefore repeat its previous observation which read as follows:

With reference to the Ghana Trades Union Congress's (TUC) observations on the redundancies which took place at the Ghana Cocoa Board under the terms of the Ghana Cocoa Board (Re-organization and Indemnity) Law, 1985 Provisional National Defence Council (PNDC) Law 125, the Committee notes the Government's statement that action has been initiated to repeal the law in question. This process, however, entails submission of a cabinet memorandum and the eventual submission of a draft bill to Parliament which has the responsibility for repeal of legislation. The Committee would request the Government to provide it with the text of the repealing legislation once the process described above has been completed.

The Committee hopes that the Government will make every effort to take the necessary action in the very near future.
