Sacked MODEC workers wait to be reinstated

Sacked striking workers of MODEC are still waiting to be reinstated after a 24 hours ultimatum given by the TUC to MODEC. 

The workers say their next action will be determined by negotiations for their reinstatement. 

A member of the group, John Tupoh told Radio Ghana that they are waiting for a favourable outcome. 

Meanwhile, The TUC has called for the unconditional reinstatement of sacked workers of MODEC.

At a marathon meeting between the workers of MODEC and the Western Regional Executives of TUC, the congress warned that if MODEC fails to heed the advice of TUC, the petroleum sector will experience turbulence.

He said the Ministry of Energy, the Petroleum Commission and other stakeholders have been informed.

The Deputy General Secretary of General Transport, Petroleum and Chemical Workers Union of TUC, Francis Sallah disclosed this in an interview with Radio Ghana.

In a related development, Labour Relations Expert, Mohammed Affum has raised eye brow over the manner in which the workers of MODEC were sacked. 

He said the Labour Law frowns on the action.

Speaking to Radio Ghana, Mr Affum asked the TUC to resolve the impasse between management of MODEC and the workers amicably.
