Initially, there were some challenges so a new meeting has been scheduled for February 27, 2018. So we hope that by the end of February, we would have gotten a new Commission,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>The Commission is among others expected to adjudicate all labour cases brought before it by affected parties.<\/p>\n<p>Per the regulations guiding the NLC\u2019s operations, the Commission cannot sit on any case if it falls short of its seven member composition.<\/p>\n<p>The delay, Citi Business News understands has been from the government\u2019s side as Employers and Organised labour have both tendered in their representatives.<\/p>\n<p>Mr. Ofosu Asamoah further explains the impact the absence of the Commission is having on existing cases currently before it.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe deal with cases by facilitating the hearing, negotiating and the administrative procedures but there are cases that we cannot do anything without the presence of the Commission\u2026 such cases involve ones such as the current Ankaful issue,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<p>&#8211;<\/p>\n<p>By: Pius Amihere Eduku\/citibusinessnews.com\/Ghana<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Labour adjudicating cases pending at the National Labour Commission (NLC), are expected to delay a little longer until a complete Commission is formed.
