As 2023 winds down, a rallying cry echoes through the public sector. With just three months left in the year, workers are turning up the heat, urging their union leaders to kickstart the 2024 Base Pay negotiations.
In 2023, there was cause for celebration as workers secured a 30% boost in their base pay. However, the shadow of high inflation cast a pall over the victory, leaving many struggling to make ends meet.
The rising cost of living demands more than just negotiations; it demands a robust dialogue on the annual base pay percentage. The hardships faced by the workforce cannot go unnoticed any longer.
Workers aren’t just seeking a salary bump; they’re advocating for improved working conditions and the long-overdue implementation of neglected allowances.
Bricy Boateng’s inside scoop reveals that, according to the Fair Wages and Salaries Commission, the 2024 Base Pay negotiations will kick off after the determination of the National Daily Minimum Wage (NDMW).
As we speak, the National Tripartite Committee (NTC) is in full swing, working tirelessly to set the NDMW, setting the stage for a pivotal negotiation year ahead.Stay tuned for updates on this crucial issue at bricyboateng.com!”
