The new industrial relations in Ghana.
Among a number of the newly independent nations that have emerged from their former colonial status in the decades since World War II, it is becoming increasingly apparent that Western forms of economic and social organization are being bent to the service of the state. Because of their importance for rapid economic growth as well as their significance as an instrument of political power, trade unions are among the most important of the organizations which are being reshaped in the interest of national purpose. Such a development is taking place in Ghana: union membership is virtually compulsory in wage employment, only officially approved labor organizations may exist, and trade union structure and government are becoming highly centralized. The legislative developments by which these changes are being accomplished are described and analyzed in this article. (Author's abstract courtesy EBSCO.)
