GCAA rejects allegations of unfair labour practices against staff

The Ghana Civil Aviation Authority (GCAA) has rejected allegations of unfair labour practices, victimisation, coercion and intimidation levelled against its Director-General (DG).

The GCAA also defended the deployment of National Security personnel at its installations, saying the measure was necessary to protect critical aviation infrastructure after GhATSEA allegedly instructed its members not to attend to faults or touch communication, navigation and surveillance equipment.

The authority explained that the National Labour Commission (NLC), after hearing the parties on January 14, 2026, ruled that a strike called by the association was illegal because the association lacked legal capacity to do so, its notice was procedurally defective, and the action was prohibited under L.
