Observation (CEACR) - adopted 1999, published 88th ILC session (2000)

Right to Organise and Collective Bargaining Convention, 1949 (No. 98) - Ghana (Ratification: 1959)

The Committee notes the information supplied by the Government in its report. The Committee recalls its previous comments which referred to the need to repeal the 1985 Provisional National Defence Council (PNDC) Law 125, section 2 of which prohibits the application of the collective agreement to the Ghana Cocoa Board in cases where the Board decides to declare workers redundant for economic reasons, and section 3 of which cancels the provisions of collective agreements with respect to redundancy awards in the case of redundancies declared for economic reasons.

The Committee notes with satisfaction that the Government indicates in its report that the 1985 (PNDC) Law 125 has been repealed by the Statute Law Revision Act, 1996 (Act No. 516).
