Professor John Evans Ata Mills, National Democratic Congress (NDC) leader and Presidential Candidate on May Day acknowledged the contribution of organized labour to the development of the nation and said "ayekoo" to them.
He said; "I salute Ghanaian workers for their contribution to nation building and that, it is not a secret that Labour in Ghana has had cause to continuously voice out its legitimate concerns and as a party that is firmly rooted in the tenets of Social Democracy, job creation, people-centred approach to governance, welfarism, and the justifiable concerns of labour, will very much be at the core of NDC policy initiatives.
"Indeed, the four major pivots around which the NDC's messages revolve,
are; Investing In People, Creating Jobs and A Strong Economy, Maintaining an Expanding Infrastructure, Transparent and Accountable Government."
Prof Mills gave the assurance to Labour that, "Atta Mills government will do none other than work relentlessly to firmly anchor these four pivots for the benefit of one and all"
He said, "I am also assuring Labour of a true, honest, open, and above board approach to all manner of negotiations, and will not lead a government that will give its word at the negotiation table only to renege on its side of the bargain.
"Government and Labour must be equal partners in nation building, and that is what Atta Mills and his government shall be committed to".
He said his government would effectively partner Labour to give Ghanaians a better Ghana."
