Players in the industrial sector have been urged to follow due process in settling labour-re­lated disputes by resorting to the Labour Act, 2003, (Act 651).

The Act mandates the National Labour Commission (NLC) to settle industrial disputes through negotiations and other alternative methods of dispute resolution.

According to the Executive Secretary of the NLC, Mr Ofosu Asamoah, the commitment to the due process under the Labour Act 2003 (Act 651) by both employers and employees was crucial for the maintenance of a peaceful indus­trial relations.

Mr Asamoah said this when the NLC engaged the media in a discussion on Thursday on the dispute settlement procedure under the Labour Act 2003 (Act 651).
