13th African Games: GBC workers demand payment of GHC100 daily allowance

Workers of GBC have demanded immediate payment of allowances meant for the seventy-seven workers who worked on the African Games.

According to the workers, Management agreed to pay GHC100 daily to each of the workers who worked on the project, but that has failed.

At news a conference in Accra, the Local Union Chairman Sam Nat, expressed disappointment in the Management.

“They started with 50 cedis negotiations then under the tree here, we met with the Management team, they came back to GHC70, I am presenting the disagreement of agreeing with Management on behalf of the workers.”

“We wrote to management on the 26 of August asking them to provide the list and amount of payment made. It is not in our domain to be coming here to be telling this issue to Management, I have a special respect for our Director General, but he doesn’t appreciate it that is the most painful thing”.

“We are demanding a compensation having realized that money in excess of three million dollars was paid,” he noted.

Meanwhile, the General Secretary of the Public Services Workers Union Benard Adjei has pleaded with the workers to be patient.

“The African Games yes, I have heard issues about your workplaces, that is you don’t have equipment, people sleeping in the offices, allowances that are not being paid. Per this action, that we have done today, the DG has committed to us that we should agree on a date for a meeting for the issues to be addressed for us,” he stated.
