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.
