A former Minister of Trade, Dr.
Ekwow Spio-Gabrah, has alleged that money played a significant role in influencing the decision of Organised Labour to cancel its planned nationwide strike.
In an interview on Adom FM's Burning Issues, monitored by GhanaWeb on October 10, 2024, he emphasised that financial considerations in labour negotiations in the country cannot be overstated. "During such moments, you cannot overlook the impact of financial considerations on decision-making.
Money plays a critical role in all human interventions, whether before a strike, after a strike or even after a strike. "At different stages of the negotiation process, you cannot rule out the role money plays.
