Angry and disillusioned workers of the Metro Mass Transit Limited, the state-supported transport company, have given the company’s management up to Tuesday to explain the dismissal of some workers or face an industrial unrest.
The workers say they will be wearing red bands from Tuesday in solidarity with their sacked colleagues who were shown the exit about a week ago, and also use the action to push for improved salaries and better work conditions.
The workers have been locked in a meeting which started in the early hours of Monday to firm up their plans.
Some of the dismissed workers told Joy News’ Sammy Darko that they were given the boot by word of mouth and with no compensations.
The management of the company has so far declined comments and says it would communicate its position in due course.
The company only last week took delivery of some 30 new buses to augment its fleet, however allegations of corrupt practices; namely the under-declaration of sales, non issuance of tickets to commuters and fuel siphoning have bevilled the company in recent times.
