NDC Salutes Ghanaian Workers The National Democratic Congress (NDC), has extended its warmest greetings to all Ghanaian workers on the occasion of May Day also known as Workers Day or Labour Day. In a statement signed by the General Secretary, Johnson Asiedu Nketiah, the party says it appreciates the collective and enormous contribution of all Ghanaians in helping build a Better Ghana. The statement urges workers from all facets of the workforce to remain relentless and undaunted in the face of the many challenges that continue to confront the nation. BELOW IS THE FULL STATEMENT BY THE NDC As workers worldwide observe the 1st of May, as the day set aside to honour the contribution of workers to nation building; the National Democratic Congress (NDC), salutes all Ghanaian Workers and appreciate the collective and enormous contribution to helping build a Better Ghana. In spite of the many challenges that continues to confront us as a nation; workers from all facets of the workforce remain relentless and undaunted, and we say a big Ayekoo to all workers. The NDC shares the deep concern embedded in the recent call by Labour to the Government to pay a close attention to the creeping unacceptable practice of some employers deliberately keeping workers as casual employees and therefore denying them the stable mindset to operate at the workplace. The NDC will never shy away from the genuine and legitimate concerns of Labour. We are also aware of the unacceptable attempt to Privatise the Civil Service, and we stand with Labour to resist the over politicization of the Civil Service. Government must not shirk its responsibilities towards Labour hence the need for a swift response to the concerns of Labour. Ayekoo once again to all Ghanaian Workers on this special day, and there is no gainsaying the fact that the NDC remains stoically committed to broadening and deepening the frontiers of Labour in Ghana. Ghana is the only country we have: and we must all put our shoulders to the wheel and strive continuously towards building a Better Ghana. May God continue to hold us together as a Nation, and may we never downplay the strong wings of Labour in flying Ghana higher into the realms of Nation-building. Johnson Asiedu Nketiah (NDC, General Secretary). GBCONLINE ---DECRYPTED---
