NLA Supports Unionization of Staff



NLA Supports Unionization of Staff


The National Lottery Authority (NLA) under Hon. Kofi Osei-Ameyaw has shown massive support and commitment to the unionization of staff of the Authority.


The Management on 12th February 2020 received  Guidelines/Rules Governing the Standing Negotiation Committee (SNC) from three separate Unions namely: 
1. Union of Industry, Commerce and Finance (UNICOF)

2. Industrial and Commercial Workers' Union (ICU), Ghana 

3. Financial Business and Services Employees Union (FBSEU)

For the avoidance of doubt, these are three individual Unions currently doing their possible best to unionize Staff of the National Lottery Authority (NLA).

Separate meetings  were held between Management of NLA and the individual Unions on the 12th, 13th and 14th February 2020. The meetings were held under the chairmanship of Hon. Kofi Osei-Ameyaw, the Director-General of NLA.

The Guidelines/Rules of the Standing Negotiation Committee from the FBSEU, ICU and UNICOF have been signed and adopted.

As part of the process, it is expected that the three Unions namely UNICOF, FBSEU and ICU shall furnish the  NLA with copies of their List and Verification Forms signed by staff of the Authority indicating the Authorization of Union Dues Deduction from their Monthly Salaries.

It is important to state that so far:
1. None of the three Unions have completed the process of the unionization of the Staff of the Authority.

2. None of the three Unions have fulfilled all the criteria in relation to the bargaining power  to negotiate on behalf of Staff of the Authority.

Management of the National Lottery Authority (NLA) would do everything possible to ensure the smooth and successful unionization of the staff of the Authority.

Parts of the aluminum roofing sheets are rusting away, while their remains hang loosely on the tiny erected concrete pillars. Class sessions end abruptly whenever the clouds gather.  “Our roof is ripping off. And when it rains, it leaks into our classroom, so we have to end classes.  “When it leaks, our books get wet and we are not able...

  AFTER YEARS OF MINING IN AKWATIA – GHANA’S NEW ARTIFICIAL LAKE, THE ASUBONE STORY AND OUR TOURISM DRIVE  ABSTRACT.... H. BRAKO Diamonds were first discovered in the Gold Coast Colony (Ghana) near the Birim River close to the town of Abomosu in 1919. The Birim diamond discoveries led mining companies to invest along that river. However, not until 1929 did organized diamond mining begin following additional diamond discoveries made by Ghanaian prospectors in the gravels of Bediebewu streams near Tarkwa. In 1924, the Consolidated African Selection Trust (CAST) was formed and became the major diamond mining company in Ghana. Over 2 million carats were mined by CAST from 1924 to 1939. CAST’s early success led to investment in other diamond exploration and mining ventures in West Africa particularly in Ghana – resulting in the establishment of Great Consolidated Diamond (GCD).  1n 1963 Lake Asubone was created artificially in Asubone near Akwatia in Denkyembour District of Gh...
