Labour Consultant Austin Gamey has implored CLOSSAG authorities to address their grievances with the National Labour Commission as a means to resolve their conflict with the Fair Wages and Salaries Commission. Speaking on Radio Gold's "Gold Power Drive", Mr. Austin Gamey bemoaned the indiscipline in the labour front where Labour Unions fail to lodge complaints with the National Labour Commission. �We have a National Labour Commission which is an institution that we have all agreed as a nation that should there be any labour-related problem, we should all go there for them to assist us with other experts in resolving these matters. �Over the years, Labour Unions have conveniently found it prudent to use the medium of strike as a weapon to compel employers to yield to their wish or desires without following some of these principles. Some of the Unions generally have been following it meticulously to go to the Labour Commission and have their matters redressed. Unfortunately, CLOSSAG is among the few Unions together with of course some of the employer�s network or so, not being able to follow these principles meticulously,� he said. He appealed to the Labour Unions to "go to appropriate bodies we have put together to help them resolve these matters without resorting to unnecessary practice like this one.�
