Interest for 20% COLA genuine - GRNMA President
Leader of the Ghana Registered Nurses and Midwives Association (GRNMA), Perpetual Ofori-Ampofo, says the interest for a 20% cost for many everyday items recompense (COLA) is genuine, thinking about the unforgiving financial circumstances laborers need to battle with.
She noticed that it will be out of line to request of the workforce to relinquish their COLA fomentations essentially founded on the way that Article 71 holders have gotten a 30% cut on their compensations.
As indicated by her, "We don't imagine that cuts anily affect their pockets and besides the thing we're requesting is genuine. See, Article 71 holders, other people who are on specific kinds of pay rates what not, you know, it places them in a specific class that makes them more agreeable."
She made sense of that the 4% and 7% compensation increase they got from government last year has been seriously disintegrated and subsequently it was the ideal opportunity for government to give a more adequate answer for their concern as a 20% COLA.
"Presently when you discuss public area laborers and you check out - very much like I said before - the 4% and the 7% we got and you take a gander at our conditions today it is not a big deal.
"That was an enormous penance and assuming you recall the slamming that we got from laborers where a few associations goes to move as far as taking the authority out and all of that, we have made penances and thusly, we imagine that as of now we're in midyear, the 7% we got isn't anything in the event that you take a gander at the rate at which expansion is," she said on JoyNews' Newsfile Saturday.
Lady Ofosu-Ampofo has in this manner approached the public authority to focus on drawing in trade guilds to fulfill their needs before additional associations set out on a cross country strike.
"Furthermore, in this way we are just approaching government that we genuinely should sit and talk. We are glad to take note of that a gathering was held yesterday, we were by and large present, we examined and we set out the modalities for a gathering one week from now Tuesday to start conversations on this COLA.
"Since we were made to comprehend by the Ministers of Finance, Education, Employment and other government substances that were there like the Fair Wages and Salaries Commission and so forth that these issues about the cost for most everyday items remittance have been raised to His Excellency the President of the Republic and subsequently they're focused on guaranteeing that they take a gander at the issues fundamentally and come to our guide as laborers.
"So we're anticipating the gathering one week from now Tuesday and anticipating something productive to emerge from those conversations," she said.
