Drivers of the Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) Aayalolo buses\u00a0have continued their demand for the payment of some eight months salary owed them. <\/p>\n

The drivers have threatened to drag management of the Greater Accra Passenger Transport Executive (GAPTE) company to the law court should it fail to pay them their monies.<\/p>\n

Explaining the genesis of the issue in an interview on Adom FM\u2019s \u2018Dwaso Nsem<\/strong> on Friday, Stephen Kwaku Yeboah, leader of the aggrieved drivers said, Mr Sampson Gyamenah, Chief Executive Officer of the company first withheld their three months salary and promised to pay them back in due time.<\/p>\n

\u201cMr Gyamenah called for a meeting saying that, he had encountered a little problem and so needed the drivers to work for three months without pay, promising he would pay later when the problem is resolved,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cBut when the time reached for him to pay us our monies, he denied
\nhaving such an arrangement with us,\u201d he added. <\/p>\n

According to Mr Yeboah, the issue was later reported to the National Labour Commission (NLC). <\/p>\n

\u201cWe then took the issue to NLC, and the NLC ruled in our favour and directed Mr Gyamenah to pay the salaries owed us in installment till 22nd November, 2018. He started the payment but stopped with three weeks to the stipulated date by the NLC,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

He said the decision by the Chief Executive Officer to discontinue payment of their long overdue salaries was because Mr Gyamenah claimed the company had to temporarily halt its activities due to \u2018insufficient fuel\u2019 to run the buses. An action, he said, led to most of the drivers being laid off.<\/p>\n

Mr Yeboah further revealed that the company had recently began operations but deliberately ignored some of the previous drivers of the company. This, he believes, was due to the fact that some of the drivers openly spoke about the issue to the media. \u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen they (management of GAPTE) resumed operations, they called the drivers one after the other and rehired them. But those of us that spoke on the radio stations about the issue were not rehired,\u201d he said. \u00a0<\/p>\n

The 35 agitating drivers of the BRT buses, said despite not being rehired by the company, salary arrears owed them should be paid, else they will take legal action.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
