We believe that dialogue and collaboration are key to finding a mutually beneficial solution, it added. Meeting details are as follows: Date: Thursday, 12th June, 2025 Time: 10:00a.m. Venue: 6W Floor West-Job 600, Parliament House,the letter further indicated. Your presence and input are vital to the Committee’s efforts to facilitate constructive dialogue among all relevant parties. Please accept the assurances of the Committee’s highest consideration, Mrs Abeka wrote.

Members of the GRNMA have been on strike since June 2 to demand implementation of their approved Collective Bargaining Agreement (CBA). The CBA was approved by the erstwhile Akufo-Addo administration in 2024 but was not implemented. Meanwhile, the current government has expressed difficult in effecting payments in this regard due to financial constraints. However, the nurses and midwives have sworn that without their demands being met, they will not resume work.
