GNA workers asked to call off strike

The management of the Ghana News Agency (GNA) has appealed to its striking workers to call off their ongoing sit-down strike in the interest of the organization.

The striking workers want their General Manager, Nana Appau Dua to proceed on leave for failing to manage the agency properly and accusing him of incompetence.

The workers began a sit-down strike on Monday April 18, to protest Mr Appau Dua’s continous stay in office despite being asked to proceed on leave by the board of the Agency.

They workers claim Nana Appau Dua has mismanaged the Agency and cares less about workers’ poor conditions of service.

During a meeting with the leaders of the workers on Tuesday April 19, the management of the Ghana News Agency asked the workers to re-consider their decision and call off their strike promising to address the concerns of the workers immediately.

However, the secretary of the communication workers union at GNA, Felix Attuquaye Quaye told Citi News in an interview that the workers will meet on Wednesday morning to consider management’s request.

“Management met the leadership of the union and appealed to us to rescind our decision on the sit-down strike while the NMC finds an amicable solution to the problem. The workers will meet in Wednesday morning but we have some conditions so if those conditions are met then I am sure there would be an amicable solution to the problem”.
