There has however been recent media reports suggesting that the current discussions between the two parties had stalled.<\/p>\n

However addressing a news conference in Accra, the Employment Minister, Haruna Iddrisu discounted the claims, stating that the FWSC is expected to update the NLC on the status of negotiations.<\/p>\n

Haruna Iddrisu who would not explain into details however hinted that the government “will improve upon aspects of its position on the matter.”<\/p>\n

For his part, Mr. Smith Graham was optimistic that problem will soon be addressed.<\/p>\n

\u201cI can confirm that negotiations with the GMA are still ongoing, we are still engaging should be able to come out with some amicable solution,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
