Some former employees stage a protest<\/strong><\/p>\n

ANGLOGOLD ASHANTI Ghana says it notes with regret
\nthe protest action outside its office in Accra by a small group of former
\nemployees who are alleging there were some inadequacies in the retrenchment
\npackages paid out to them in 2014.<\/p>\n

According to the company, it was confident that
\nall entitlements due to retrenched employees were fully paid in accordance with
\nthe Collective Agreement and all applicable laws.<\/p>\n

It said the retrenchment programme, which was preceded
\nwith intensive dialogue with affected parties, was supported and facilitated by
\na range of stakeholders, including National Authorities, the Ghana Mine
\nWorkers\u2019 Union (GMWU) and the Chief Labour Officer.<\/p>\n

A statement from the company said, \u201cAngloGold
\nAshanti Ghana is disappointed that despite several engagements with this
\naggrieved group to clarify the Collective Agreement and verify calculations,
\nthese unfounded claims persist including a purported Unprecedented Negotiation
\nAgreement signed in 2013 by the company, the Chief Labour Officer and the GMWU.
\nThe company and the GMWU have made it clear to the leadership of this aggrieved
\ngroup that this purported Unprecedented Negotiation Agreement is a forgery.
\nThis matter has been reported to the Ghana Police and investigation is
\ncurrently underway.\u201d<\/p>\n

It continued that AngloGold Ashanti Ghana was
\ncurrently occupied with redeveloping the Obuasi Mine into a modern, productive,
\nlong-life and high-margin mining operation. <\/p>\n

\u201cThis effort not only provides jobs to the mine\u2019s direct employees, but also ensures further job creation through procurement and contract opportunities offered to a range of local businesses across the operation\u2019s value chain,\u201d the company noted.<\/p>\n
