US embassy cable - 04ACCRA1500

Disclaimer: This site has been first put up 15 years ago. Since then I would probably do a couple things differently, but because I've noticed this site had been linked from news outlets, PhD theses and peer rewieved papers and because I really hate the concept of "digital dark age" I've decided to put it back up. There's no chance it can produce any harm now.

(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.
