APM Terminals workers prepare to strike in Ghana, January 2017.
Some workers of APM Terminals, a container terminal operating firm at the Tema Port, yesterday embarked on a sit-down strike in solidarity with their colleagues who were interdicted for agitating for salary increases.
Clad in red armbands, the workers deserted the operational yard of the company and vowed not to return to work until their colleagues were reinstated.
They also accused the company’s management of recruiting new employees to replace the interdicted workers although they were yet to commence investigations into the conduct of the interdicted workers.
