According reports, other unionised workers under the Ghana Mineworkers\u2019 Union (GMWU) are being subjected to abuses by management of the power-producing company.<\/p>\n
The attention of major stakeholders including the National Labour Commission (NLC) has been drawn to the issue but to no avail.<\/p>\n
But TUC said all its affiliates will take an action in solidarity with the workers if no word is heard from major stakeholders by Monday, April 3.<\/p>\n
