LABOR UNIONS IN GHANA NOT LIKELY TO RAISE CUBAN

C O N F I D E N T I A L ACCRA 001500 SIPDIS DEPT FOR WHA/CCA E.O. 12958: DECL: 07/15/2014 TAGS: PREL PHUM GH ILO SUBJECT: LABOR UNIONS IN GHANA NOT LIKELY TO RAISE CUBAN OFFENSES REF: STATE 153312 Classified By: Polchief Richard Kaminski, reason 1.5 (B/D). (C) Labor unions in Ghana, while largely peaceful and enjoying constructive relationships with the government, are on the left of the political spectrum. Cuba and Ghana have a long and mutually supportive relationship -- for example, Cuba supplies 200 sorely-needed doctors to rural and up-country medical facilities. Therefore, it seems to us that Ghanaian labor unions would not likely be interested in pursuing Cuban labor rights offenses at regional meetings. YATES
