MIND lauded several initiatives by the minister to improve the Ministry and the labor sector as a whole including the training of regional Labor officers to work on labor standards issues within the various counties. Commissioners and hearing officers are also included as key beneficiaries of these trainings, uniform labor inspectors to be identify in discharge of their duty.
According to the group, the minister is implementing new mechanisms aimed at ensuring the registration of aliens, something they believe will be a good revenue source for the Government of Liberia.
MIND has also hailed the minister over plans to ensure that foreigners don’t not take hold of jobs or positions dedicated to Liberians through the full enforcement of the Decent Work Act.
The group furthered thanked Minister Kruah for intervening in recent labor disputes between some companies and Liberia citizens in their employ.
