Ghana Federation of Labour
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Ghana Federation of Labour (GFL) is a national trade union centre in Ghana. The origins of the GFL can be traced to the departure of a group of workers from the TUC-affiliated Industrial and Commercial Workers' Union who then founded the Textile, Garment and Leather Employees Union (TGLEU) in 1993.[2] The TGLEU subsequently attempted to affiliate to the TUC, but was refused.[2] In 1996, changes in labour law in Ghana allowed trade union pluralism and in 1998 the GFL was founded.[3]: 519
