Secretary-General of Ghana Federation of Labour, Abraham Koomson
The Ghana Federation of Labour (GFL) has expressed disappointment over its marginalisation at the 2025 May Day parade held in Accra.
In a statement cited by GhanaWeb Business, the Secretary-General of the Ghana Federation of Labour, Abraham Koomson, stated that the speech delivered by the Secretary-General and the National Chairman of the Trades Union Congress (TUC) failed to reflect the collective concerns of all critical stakeholders within the organised labour front, particularly the Ghana Federation of Labour.
“As a key player in the labour movement, GFL’s input and concerns were conspicuously absent from the address, a situation we find deeply offensive and unacceptable,” part of the statement read.
“To prevent further erosion of trust and foster genuine unity among labour stakeholders, we demand an urgent meeting of the interim Organised Labour Leadership before the end of May 2025. This meeting must address the status of the stalled Organised Labour structures and chart a way forward for inclusive, transparent, and principled collaboration,” it added.
Other concerns raised was the remarks on the removal of the Chief Justice and illegal mining, otherwise known as galamsey.
