Preparations Underway for 2025 Minimum Wage and Salary Negotiations
Preparations are in progress for the 2025 minimum wage and salary negotiations, with updates expected soon from the negotiation strong room. This was revealed in a publication by Ellis Ferdinand, an award-winning education blogger, curriculum specialist, and researcher, on his Facebook page.
Ferdinand highlighted that the vetting of Finance Minister-designate, Honourable Attoh Forson Casel, which concluded positively on the same day, signals the beginning of preparations for the negotiations.
Government and Organized Labor Set for Negotiations
He further indicated that organized labor and the government are preparing to commence negotiations as soon as possible to determine the 2025 minimum wage and salary adjustments. The discussions are expected to focus on economic sustainability, cost of living adjustments, and fair compensation for workers.
Organized Labour’s Position
The Trades Union Congress (TUC) has said that it will in the coming weeks engage President Mahama and his relevant appointees to begin the 2025 base pay and minimum wage negotiations for workers.
Secretary General and spokesperson of TUC, Joshua Ansah said this in an exclusive interview with 3news’ labour affairs correspondent in Accra on January 13.
Oganised Labour and the previous government failed to begin negotiations for the 2025 minimum wage and base pay.
Mr Ansah said although they officially wrote to the then Minister of Employment and Labour Relations, the negotiations could not take place.
Currently, over 700, 000 workers in the public sector are still relying on the 15% 2024 salary increment.
The TUC, which is one of the main bodies of organised labour has said that this is high on its agenda.
“The President was just sworn in last week, we are working behind the scenes but very soon we will come out. We are doing what is expected of us and very soon we will come out. We will meet and discuss and write appropriately on the minimum wage and the base pay so workers must be rest assured,” Mr Ansah said.
He reminded the President about his decision to improve the lot of workers.
“We cannot stand on empty stomach, no sack can stand empty. At least, the sack must be filled so that they can stand and work, I don’t think President Mahama will just look on for workers to go hungry,” the TUC General Secretary noted.
