Dr Rashid Pelpuo with some CLOGSAG executives
The Minister for Labour, Jobs, and Employment, Dr. Rashid Pelpuo, has once again demonstrated strong leadership in labour negotiations, this time engaging the Civil and Local Government Staff Association of Ghana (CLOGSAG) over their ongoing strike.
During a crucial meeting with CLOGSAG executives, Dr. Pelpuo appealed to them to reconsider the strike while the government actively works to address their demands.
His persuasive negotiation skills and deep understanding of the workers’ concerns resonated so strongly with the leadership that they broke into song in his honor, an unprecedented display of admiration.
Dr. Pelpuo’s commitment to fair wages and improved working conditions is well recognized, having previously played a key role in negotiating a 10% salary increase for public sector workers under the Single Spine Salary Structure (SSSS).
This successful wage adjustment remains a major achievement in his tenure, reflecting his dedication to ensuring fair compensation for Ghanaian workers.
His ability to foster dialogue, build trust, and find common ground in labor disputes continues to reinforce confidence in his leadership.
As negotiations progress, Dr. Pelpuo remains focused on securing a balanced resolution that meets the needs of workers while ensuring national stability and development.
