From that day we have tried several times to negotiate for upward review of the salary but we have been unsuccessful. So we are calling on management of the company to ensure that this long delay is avoided,\u201d he stressed.<\/p>\n<p class=\"yiv6075782234MsoNormal\">Also, Mr. Ntarmah says government must do well to complete award of contract for the revamping of western railway line.<\/p>\n<p class=\"yiv6075782234MsoNormal\">He explained that revamping it will create employment for the youth, reduce the carnage on roads caused by bigger trucks and life span of roads in the western region.<\/p>\n<p class=\"yiv6075782234MsoNormal\">\u201cWhat is going to sustain us more is the revamping of the Western Railway line. That line is where we have the bauxite, Mangenese, Cocoa among others. We believe that as part of the revamping of this line, if it is not revamped totally then we might not be able to sustain this railway company,\u201d he warned.<\/p>\n<p class=\"yiv6075782234MsoNormal\">This year\u2019s May Day Celebration, also known as workers day is on the theme \u201cSustainable pension; the role of social partners\u201d.<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"ctx-article-root\"\/>  <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a style=\"display:none\" rel=\"follow\" href=\"http:\/\/megatheme.ir\/\" title=\"\u0642\u0627\u0644\u0628 \u0648\u0631\u062f\u067e\u0631\u0633\">\u0642\u0627\u0644\u0628 \u0648\u0631\u062f\u067e\u0631\u0633<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Ghana Railway Workers Union is calling on the management to review the salary structure of its members.
