The Industrial and Commercial Workers’ Union (ICU) Ghana has emphasized the need for unions and management to work together to ensure the sustainability and profitability of businesses. According to ICU General Secretary, Morgan Ayawine, social partners must exhibit sacrifice, commitment, and collaboration in their engagements.
Ayawine made this call at the opening of the union’s regional conferences in six regions, which precede the 12th Quadrennial Delegate Conference scheduled for August this year. The conferences aim to promote harmonious relations between unions and management, enhancing productivity and profitability.
ICU leaders warned against misunderstandings and unfair treatment at the workplace, which can undermine the cordial relationship expected between unions and management. They urged all stakeholders to adhere to the provisions of the Collective Agreement and labor law.
As the largest heterogeneous union in Ghana, ICU represents over 95,000 members nationwide, providing benefits such as salary negotiations, education, grievance handling, and legal and health benefits.
