Government is to convene an emergency meeting with workers of the
Agricultural Development bank (ADB) today to avert an industrial
action.
Yesterday, the workers announced their intention to boycott work over
government's failure to remove the board and Managing Director of the
Bank.
The announcement was contained in a letter sent to the Executive Head
of HR of the bank and signed by the Deputy General Secretary of Union
of Industry, Commerce and Finance Workers Union (UNICOF), John
Amegashie.
According to UNICOF, it has been forced to take the action because
government has failed to act on its request to let the bank's MD
Stephen Kpordzih and the board step aside for an independent audit.
"But what we heard is that the Bank of Ghana auditors are aroundand
the managing director is directing as to what to do. We thought he
authorities are not fair to us," Mr. Amegashie told Joy Business.
"As at yesterday when we served the notice, the sector minister
hadinvited us so we are meeting with the Labour Minister this evening
at4pm."
He said whether the workers would embark on an industrial action or
not would depend on today's meeting with the minister.
