Recall contract with South African company for railroad workers

The Ghana Railway Company Limited’s decision to enter a $3.2 billion loan deal with Thelo DB Railway of South Africa in order to restructure the business has the approval of the Ghana Railway Worker’s Union.

The union had previously voiced concerns about the deal, charging that their employer had neglected to include them in the contract discussions

‘’Our attention has been drawn to a social media report indicating a supposed contract to be signed between Ghana Railway Company and Thelo DB Railway of South Africa. As a stakeholder in the Ghana Railway Company limited, we are really surprised that we are not in the known of the details of the contract and our desire in really getting to have more insight into the supposed deal is not forthcoming. We labour, we welcome any arrangement to put the railway back to track. However, any arrangement we are not sure of, we will not hesitate to express our displeasure about it,” a statement from the Union had explained.

The General Secretary of the Union, Godwill Ntarmah, explained that their earlier reservations were only made to ensure that the Union is involved in every discussion about the contract at a press conference on Tuesday, August 16, following a meeting with the board of the Company, the Union, and other branches of the Company.
