Organised Labour is mounting pressure on government to sack President John Mahama’s aide, Stan Dogbe, if indeed he is found to have leaked confidential information in the conditions of service document presented by the striking doctors to government.<\/p>\n
The General Secretary of the Trades Unions Congress (TUC), Kofi Asamoah has called for appropriate sanctions to be meted out to the group or individual who leaked the documents.<\/p>\n
The Ghana Medical Association is accusing government of exercising bad faith by releasing information about the negotiations through it’s presidential aide Stan Dogbe.<\/p>\n
[contextly_sidebar id=”MCYrjIw8oVwExlH1U9GFlTFkNmkIWRvQ”]In an Interview on\u00a0Eyewitness News<\/strong> after the release of a press statement early on, Mr. Asamoah condemned the actions saying it as a blatant breach of international labour practices.<\/p>\n \u201cWe believe in free speech but if you have checked from the labour laws negotiating in good faith goes along to tell both parties as to what exactly to do. For negotiations to be ongoing and in the process you leak the person\u2019s proposal, it is a big thing that can undermine all future negotiations and so even if it was done on behalf of government, it is wrong and whoever did it must be punished.\u201d he stated.<\/p>\n When asked by Eyewitness News<\/strong>\u00a0host, Richard Sky if he was specifically calling for the dismissal of Stan Dogbe the Presidential aide in question, Mr. Asamoah\u00a0said: “We do not know about who did it but if he is the one who did it I think that constitutes unfair labour practice and unfair labour practice is a severe offence in labour relations in the country and beyond and If you acted wrongly in a situation that can undermine the social partnership (between government and organised labour). It is a grave offence and\u00a0 we are asking that whoever did that must be punished.\u201d<\/p>\n
