The Ghana Mine Workers Union has expressed strong dissatisfaction with the management of the Precious Minerals Marketing Company (PMMC) over plans to terminate the employment of approximately 50 staff members. Apexnewsgh reports
This move follows a government directive ordering the termination of appointments made after December 7, 2024.
According to Abdul Moomin Gbana, General Secretary of the Ghana Mine Workers Union, the union has initiated discussions with PMMC management to address the issue.
Gbana emphasized that the union will strongly oppose any action that contravenes labor laws. “We’ve told PMMC that they must ensure their actions align with the law. Anything contrary to the law will be resisted by the Ghana Mine Workers Union,” he stated.
The union’s stance is clear: despite the questionable timing of the recruitments, the current government should not repeat the same mistakes. With the union’s history of advocating for workers’ rights, this development is likely to escalate into a full-blown labor dispute if not handled carefully.
