PSWU members urged to dutifully work while waiting for single
spine
Sunyani (B/A), May 15,
Ghanadot/GNA – The Public Service Workers Union (PSWU) of
the Ghana Trades Union Congress, has called on members to
dutifully discharge their duties while it continued to negotiate
with government to implement the Single Spine Salary Structure.
Mrs Cecilia Naab Ockling, National Vice Chairperson of PSWU, who
made the appeal on Thursday, urged workers to honestly discharge
their work in order to ensure steady growth and propel the
economy to higher heights.
Mrs Ockling made the appeal when she met with members of the
Brong-Ahafo regional branch of the union in Sunyani.
She advised members to attend meetings promptly and regularly as
well as work in unity and harmony to guarantee the labour
strength of the country.
The meeting, which attracted more than 100 members, focussed on
the theme: “PSWU 50 years of the service of workers: the way
forward.” The 50th anniversary celebration of the PSWU was
launched in Accra April 23, this year.
Mrs Ockling explained that the welfare of members and for that
matter Ghanaian workers was the major priority of the union and
asked members to close their rank and file and forge ahead in
unity with sister unions to achieve a common goal.
She reminded members of the union’s hostel in Kumasi and advised
them make patronise it.
The National Vice Chairperson paid glowing tribute to founding
fathers of the union and urged members to contribute their quota
towards its growth and development.
Participants in an open forum appealed to the union’s hierarchy
to make create a fund that would enable members to access and
establish income generating activities.
Mr Charles Kwasi Kumi, Regional Industrial Relation Officer said
the union had acquired vast land in Sunyani and Tema, which it
intended to construct hostel facilities.
He appealed to members, who had not obtain identification cards
to do so to enable them benefit from the union’s achievements.
