The Labour Commission did not miss words yesterday.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe really told the employer what they should do, so we believe strongly that they shall make a decision and determination on the matter. It is only fair that the executives go back to their Council to let them know that this has been the outcome and they have a decision to go back to work\u201d, Mr. Gamey stated.<\/p>\n<p>He continued: \u201cThe workers are worried and troubled because of the behaviour of the employer. Most of the time it is the employer\u2019s mistake it is not the worker\u2019s mistake. Almost all the ongoing things it is never the error or the mistake of the workers or the union. It is the employer\u2019s problem so they have to advise themselves and put their house in order to get to the table.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf they don\u2019t have the money they should be very open and tell the workers that \u2018we don\u2019t have the money\u2019. They will advise themselves that if the employer does not have the money let\u2019s stay and suffer the consequences of it. But if you are deceiving by telling them that, I will give you and it\u2019s dragging for two years.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>Source:\u00a0<\/strong>starrfm.com.gh<\/p>\n<p><!-- CONTENT END 1 --><\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Labour Analyst, Austin Gamey, has urged government to be transparent in negotiations with public sector worker\u2019s unions in the country.
