A meeting between Government and striking
public sector workers yesterday, ended inconclusively. The crunch meeting which
was attended by the Labour Minister, Haruna Iddrisu and representatives of the
12 aggrieved public sector unions was aimed at addressing the wrangling over
the management of their pension fund. The workers are kicking against
government's decision to manage the tier two pension scheme and have withdrawn
their services to register their protest. But the labour minister says the
workers have nothing to fear as government is prudently investing their funds.
Mr. Iddrisu is reported to have laid government’s position paper on the matter
before the workers at today's meeting. Government, however, appears to have
relaxed on its earlier threat to sue the workers over their civil action. It is
not clear if the workers will suspend their strike following today’s meeting
with the minister.
