Ghanaian workers of MODEC Ghana Limited, the company that operates and maintains FPSO Kwame Nkrumah are on strike at the Jubilee Fields, off shore Cape Three Points.
This has disrupted oil production there.
The MODEC Ghana Local Workers Union, numbering about 40, claim their decision is as a result of poor working conditions as compared to their expatriate counterparts.
According to them, they are paid between Ghȼ2,500 to Ghȼ3000 a month while their expatriate counterparts take an average of between $5,000 to $10,000, a difference of about 800%.
Secretary for the Workers’ Union, Eric Ofori told Joy News they are not resuming work until something positive is heard from their employers.
“We are sitting down, we are not working until our demands are met. We have resolved that we are not going to go back to work until our grievances are met,” Mr. Ofori told Fred Smith.
