African Public Servants unhappy
(APACSUN) has expressed indignation that large proportion of workers on the continent are not covered under the social security systems, especially for the informal sector. APACSUN has, therefore, resolved to support member unions to study and adopt best practices that enable the improvement of pension administration and benefits for members.
This was in a communique the Network issued at the end of its Second Strategic Meeting in Ghana from January 15 to 17, signed by Mr Isaac Bampoe Addo, the Executive Secretary of the Civil and Local Government Staff Association Ghana (CLOGSAG) and copied to the Ghana News Agency in Accra on Monday.
The Communique said the Network would embark on campaigns to ensure greater representation of workers on boards that administered and managed pensions and support review of pension legislations for prudent management of funds.
It will build coalitions with other social forces to condemn and resist the privatisation agenda at the national and regional levels that have so far failed to deliver.
The Communique said it would provide graphic evidence of the failure of the privatisation experiment and the Private Public Partnership (PPP) variant and showcase alternative policies that are delivering public services and increasing citizens’ access to quality.
