Accra, Jan.1, GNA — Mr Morgan Ayawine, the General Secretary of the Industrial and Commercial Workers’ Union Ghana, has urged employers to create employee-friendly working environments that promote industrial peace and harmony at the workplace.
That, he stressed, was to ensure the sustainability and continuous growth of organizations for mutual benefit.
This was in a statement signed by the General Secretary issued to the Ghana News Agency in Accra on his fraternal greetings to welcome the new year.
The statement reiterated the need for the government to formulate practical and workable economic policies and interventions that promote business and industrial growth.
This is expected to help address the unemployment situation, which is assuming alarming proportions.
He said the positive atmosphere the government had created through its economic recovery efforts under the reset agenda must be sustained through the practical demonstration and application of sound socio-economic policies.
This will lead to an improved standard of living for the generality of Ghanaians.
The statement urged the government to exercise caution and avoid the outright sale of the Electricity Company of Ghana while maintaining it as one of the nation’s most vital and indispensable assets.
“As workers and contributors to nation-building, we must not rest on our oars. We are called upon to work diligently toward increased productivity at the enterprise level, which remains a prerequisite for economic growth and national development,” it said.
The statement called for the need to consolidate strong work ethics to support rapid economic growth and national progress.
It said the active participation and contribution of workers was important, urging them to shed all prejudices that hinder economic advancement and engage wholeheartedly in advancing the government’s reset agenda.
“I welcome Ghanaian workers once again and urge everyone to come on board Ghana’s economic train for a safe, smooth, and successful journey throughout 2026.”
