The High Court, Labour Division, has granted an ex parte injunction in favour of the Professional Association of Psychiatric Nurses – Ghana (PAPNG), effectively halting the implementation of the collective agreement negotiated by the Ghana Registered Nurses and Midwives Association (GRNMA). Apexnewsgh reports
The agreement was set to commence on July 1, 2024.
The injunction was obtained against the GRNMA, Fair Wages and Salaries Commission, Controller and Accountant General, Minister for Finance, and Attorney General.
The court’s decision highlights the exclusion of PAPNG and other unions, such as the Union of Professional Nurses and Midwives, Ghana (UPNMG), from the negotiation process, violating statutory requirements.
PAPNG argued that GRNMA’s actions breached the Labour Regulations, 2007 (LI 1833) and the Labour Act, 2003 (Act 651), which ensure inclusive and fair representation in collective agreements. The association expressed satisfaction with the ruling, stating that it upholds the principles of fairness and inclusivity in collective bargaining processes, ensuring that the voices of all relevant unions are heard and respected.
