Workers of Textile Ghana Limited producers of GTP in Tema have laid down their working tools in protest of what they described as nepotism and unfair treatment on the part of their Managing Director, Fatoumata Doro.
The workers claimed, among other things, that their MD has disregarded their collective working agreement that spells out their terms of working conditions.
The workers numbering about 600, including outstation workers, say they won’t return to work until the MD leaves.
A staff of the company, John Ackon, spoke to Citi News about the reason behind their agitation.
“We are agitating this morning because the new MD who came in about six months ago has decided to show us disrespect and disregard for our collective working agreement and also create fear and panic. For the first time, we have top-level management who have decided to join unions because of fear of the next action she (MD) will take. She has decided to renegotiate every package in the collective agreement just because she has the intention to sack people.”
“She is appointing friends and family and overburdening the institution. We won’t stop until she is gone.”
Some have resorted to playing football, while others turned to spectators, awaiting the dismissal of the MD.
