This follows a meeting with Organised Labour on Thursday, January 12 after ten unsuccessful negotiations between both parties.
“The base pay has been increased by 30% for the 2023 financial year…As I said this brings to an end the 2022 COLA of 15% of base pay salary,” Employment Minister, Ignatius Baffour-Awuah announced shortly after the decision was taken.
At the beginning of negotiations for the base pay, Organised Labour demanded a 60% percent increment and refused to back down on their demand despite several engagements with government.
After refusing government’s initial proposal of 18%, the public sector workers decided to reduce their initial 60% demand to 58%.
