Ghana: Striking GRIDCo Workers And Mgt. Meeting Ends Inconclusively

Information available to energynewsafrica.com indicates that a meeting between management of Ghana’s electricity transmission company, GRIDCo, and workers ended inconclusively.

The meeting was for the management of GRIDCo to sit at a table with the striking workers to resolve their concerns for them to return to work.

According to sources, the meeting was adjourned to Thursday, December 12, 2019, because both management and workers failed to reach a consensus.

Workers of the West African nation’s power transmission company have been agitating over the inability of three stakeholders namely ECG, VALCO and NEDco to pay their over GHc1.2 billion indebtedness which they claimed has crippled their operations.

The workers announced a series of industrial action last month and served notice to embark on a sit down strike by December 10, 2019, should ECG, GRIDCo and NEDco fail to settle their debts.

The workers, on Tuesday, declared a sit down strike following the three stakeholders’ failure to meet their demands.
