Ghana in Search of Regional Integration Agenda 139 CHAPTER EIGHT: ORGANISED LABOUR AND GHANA'S REGIONAL INTEGRATION AGENDA FOR WEST AFRICA, Kingsley Ofei-Nkansah* ABSTRACT The last two decades in particular have seen renewed interest in regional integration in Africa, commanding the attention of many sections of civil society. This paper discusses organised labour's demonstrated interest and concern in regional integration and how it has been expressing this. After a general discussion of organised labour in Ghana, the paper discusses Ghana's integration agenda in the context of regional integration in Africa. The paper examines organised labours' articulations and interventions on regional integration in general; it then proceeds to show how the Sub-Regional Working Group on Trade and Development, in West Africa evolved largely in response to the Economic Partnership Agreement(EPA) negotiations. It also discusses how, increasingly, this Working Group is making regional integration a major advocacy issue for organised labour, notwithstanding various challenges. *Kingsley Ofei-Nkansah is the General Secretary of the General Agricultural Workers Union of the Ghana Trade Union Congress
