Ghana's PSWU Holds Training for New Member Unions on Collective Bargaining

The Public Services Workers Union (PSWU) has run a training session for organisations that have recently joined its ranks, focused on Collective Bargaining Agreements, according to Ghana News Agency. The report was published on Monday, 26 October 2026.

The programme was aimed at bringing new member organisations up to speed on how collective bargaining agreements work, Ghana News Agency reports. The union's existing membership already operates under such agreements, and the session was intended to help newer affiliates understand the framework.

Collective bargaining agreements are the negotiated contracts that set out terms and conditions of employment between a union and an employer. For a union expanding its membership, making sure new affiliates understand these arrangements is a practical step in keeping standards consistent across the organisations it represents.

Ghana News Agency's report did not specify how many organisations took part, where the training was held, or which facilitators led the sessions. It also did not say what the training covered in detail beyond the general subject of collective bargaining agreements.

The PSWU is one of the labour unions operating in Ghana's public services sector, and its move to train incoming member organisations points to ongoing recruitment and consolidation within the union.

What to watch next: whether the PSWU discloses further details of the training, such as the number of participating organisations, and whether similar sessions are planned for other new affiliates.
