Labour Commission partners media to promote industrial harmony

The National Labour Commission (NLC) has called for stronger collaboration with the media to improve public understanding of Ghana's labour laws and dispute resolution processes, saying informed and responsible reporting is critical to maintaining industrial peace.

The workshop formed part of the commission's strategy to strengthen public awareness of the Labour Act, 2003 (Act 651), while building closer collaboration with the media in promoting industrial harmony.

She said the Labour Act prescribed clear procedures for declaring industrial action, including the requirement to serve a seven-day notice on both the employer and the commission before a strike could lawfully begin.
