OF THE
CASE: <o:p></o:p>National Union of Teamsters and General Workers
(Affiliate of Ghana Federation of Labour), complained to the National Labour
Commission of the refusal of Management of Geo-Medical Pharmaceutical Limited,
to allow them to enter their premises to transact union matters. They
stated that, even though they had unionized some of the employees, management
had frustrated their moves to conclude the process of unionization since
February, 2010. <o:p></o:p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-top:6.8pt;margin-right:.2pt;margin-bottom:

but they were informed that work on the Factory building and other
installations have not been completed and that they would be allowed entry when
they start full operation. <o:p></o:p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-top:10.7pt;margin-right:.2pt;margin-bottom:
