Former employees of BCM Ghana Limited have launched a picketing protest at the company’s Labone offices in Accra, demanding payment of redundancy allowances that have been outstanding for more than ten months.
The affected workers, who were laid off following operational changes at the mining firm, accuse management, led by Paul List, of failing to honour repeated promises to settle their legally mandated redundancy packages. The delay, they say, has caused severe financial hardship, making it difficult for them to meet basic needs and support their families.
Clad in red armbands and wielding placards with messages such as “Pay Us What We Are Owed” and “Ten Months Is Too Long,” the former employees insist that their allowances are not a favour but a right protected by Ghana’s labour laws.
The protestors are calling on the Ministry of Employment and Labour Relations and the National Labour Commission to intervene and compel BCM Ghana Limited to fulfil its statutory obligations.
As of the time of reporting, BCM Ghana Limited’s management had not issued a public response. The picketers, however, have vowed to continue their demonstration until all outstanding payments are made.
BCM Ghana Limited, which operates in the mining sector, has previously conducted workforce restructuring as part of broader operational adjustments.
