Dangote workers demonstrate over conditions of service

Workers of Dangote Cement Ghana Limited on Friday staged a protest against the management of the company over their conditions of service.

They blamed management for failing to implement recommendations in a memorandum of understanding signed between them in 2010 which enjoined management to establish a conditions of service for all workers.

The workers who began what could be described as a week-long hunger strike by boycotting food from the company's canteen climaxed the protest with a demonstration at the company's premises in Tema.

Clad in red and carrying placards with various inscriptions they sang and called for the removal of the Finance Manager, Mr Tunde Iddrisu and Audit Manager, Mr Tunji Olakokan whom they accused of thwarting the local union's efforts in getting better conditions of service for its members.

Production and transportation activities at the plant was halted as all the factory workers and drivers joined the demonstration.
