Workers of the Meridian Port Services at the Tema Port are on a sit-down strike, to back their demand for better working conditions. The workers Monday carried placards and chanted war songs at the premises of the company. They are calling for an audit of the company’s operations. According to a GNA report, the workers complained about the shabby manner in which management of the company treat issues concerning workers' salaries. They also allege the human resource and assistant operations managers of the company have been insensitive to their plight. The workers further claimed that management shows gross disrespect for their human rights and does not undertake job evaluation to bridge the gap between sections and departments at the company. The workers are also complaining about the non-payment of accident claims, night, risk, shift, utility and rent allowances. The workers said they were prepared to talk to either the Director-General of the Ghana Ports and Harbours Authority, or the sector Minister, for an amicable settlement of their grievances, on condition that the human resource and assistant operations managers are excused from the terminal. The GNA says officials of the company were not available for comment. Source: Myjoyonline.com/Ghana
