National Labour Commission Secures Injunction Against GRNMA’s Strike

The National Labour Commission (NLC) has secured an interlocutory injunction against the ongoing strike by the Ghana Registered Nurses and Midwives Association (GRNMA).

This comes after the commission declared the strike illegal and directed the GRNMA to call of the strike.

The injunction, granted by the High Court, Industrial and Labour Division in Accra, immediately restrains the association and its members from continuing their industrial action.

The ruling, issued on June 5, 2025, follows an ex-parte motion filed by the NLC, arguing that the strike was illegal and severely disrupting healthcare services nationwide.

The court, presided over by Justice Priscilla Dikro Ofori, upheld the NLC’s request, ordering the GRNMA, its executives, officers, and members to cease all strike activities with immediate effect.

The injunction will remain in effect for ten days, after which the NLC must reapply on notice to the GRNMA if further legal action is required.

The GRNMA had embarked on the strike to protest delays in implementing their 2024 Collective Agreement, which addresses key conditions of service, including unpaid allowances and delayed postings.

The strike has led to severe disruptions in healthcare delivery, with nurses withdrawing outpatient and emergency services, leaving hospitals overwhelmed.
