NDC Congratulates Workers on May Day

Accra (Greater Accra) 3rd May ?99

The National Democratic Congress (NDC) on Friday congratulated workers for their hard work towards better living conditions for themselves.

A statement to mark May Day issued in Accra, said the NDC expresses solidarity with all workers in the "common struggle to create better living conditions in order to achieve a high standard of living for themselves".

On this occasion, the NDC wishes to assure all workers that the party and government remain committed to the pledges that were made to all the people of this country to stalwartly serve and guarantee them the life of dignity and self-respect in all spheres, the statement said.

"The party again wishes to assure all workers that government's plan to improve salaries and wages of workers, which was launched almost three years ago, has been designed to replace the older system which operated with built-in inequalities."

The party called on workers in both the public and private sectors "not to fall prey to the misinformation that emanate from opponents of government whose avowed intent is to destabilise the country, inflict hardship on the people and then turn round and blame the resultant condition on government".

The NDC called on workers, employers and the government to place a high premium on the use of consultation, dialogue and consensus building to resolve all differences and conflicts that may arise.

"By these, we shall continue to chart the course of peace, stability, development and progress for our nation."
