Organized Labour has been commended for displaying high-level maturity in its present negotiations with government.

A labour consultant, Austin Gamey congratulated the leadership of Organized Labour saying,  "Let me congratulate them in advance for they have done exceptionally well."

A breakdown in negotiation is what sent Ghanaian public sector workers to the streets but the current turn of events seem to suggest that an agreement will be reached soon.

In an interview on Radio Ghana on Tuesday, the labour consultant said if the leadership of Organized Labour continue to exhibit this commendable level of maturity, "a solution will be in sight."

He said he doubts the assertions that the issue is being handled from a political point of view, insisting that "this is purely economics, it's purely shared solutions in the supreme interest of Ghana."

Mr. Gammeh was very confident that the meetings with government will yield the needed results.

He noted that the leadership of Organized Labour are fully aware of the dire consequences of not reaching an agreement in the interest of the Ghanaian worker and therefore, workers should trust that the outcome will be favourable.

He however, admonished Ghanaians to be patient because "these kinds of meetings require a lot of patience and tolerance."
