According to a recent report, Ghana Bauxite Company Limited workers at Awaso are set to resume work following a successful renegotiation with the nine-member committee. The committee was set up to ensure the re-engagement of the workers.
The workers were collectively agitated over the poor work conditions at Ghana Bauxite Company Limited and the meagre salaries they get.
The Western Regional and Industrial Relations Officer of Construction and Building Materials Workers Union Mr. Richard Asamoah Mensah told Citi News that the committee was working on a memorandum with the workers.
“We have been able to cover the collective agreement with the memorandum of understanding of which we are going to sit again in two weeks times. We have had an increase of workers and bonus for the workers, meanwhile, workers have started working,” he said.
It was not, however, the first time that workers of the Bauxite Mining Company protested over the conditions of services. Some of the workers in March 2019 threatened to walk off the job unless their working conditions were improved.
