Trade unions in Ghana date back to before World War II. In 1941, as a crown colony of England, trade union registration was established in Ghana, and in 1945 the Trade Union Congress of Ghana (TUC) was established as the sole national trade union centre. Although TUC has been reorganized several times,[1] it remained as the only trade union centre until 1999, and the establishment of the Ghana Federation of Labour (GFL).

In 2003 a tripartite National Labour Commission was created to help resolve disputes. It also assumed responsibility for issuing bargaining certificates for unions seeking to establish collective bargaining agreements.
