Ghana’s Tema Oil Refinery (TOR) has signed a new Collective Bargaining Agreement (CBA) with its local unions, marking the refinery’s first such agreement since 2018.
The agreement was signed on July 9 in the presence of the refinery’s Board Chairman, Nayon Bilijo, and a member of the Board of Directors.
TOR’s management team was led by Managing Director Edmond Kombat and his deputy Alhaji Mustapha Abubakar, while the unions were represented by officials of the General Transport, Petroleum and Chemical Workers’ Union (GTPCWU), the Union of Industry, Commerce and Finance Workers (UNICOF), and leaders of the refinery’s local unions.
The refinery said the agreement reflects its commitment to improving employee welfare and recognizes competitive remuneration as a key factor in motivating staff and sustaining productivity.
TOR said all relevant stakeholders participated throughout the negotiations as part of efforts to promote transparency, good governance and inclusiveness.
“This collaborative approach reflects management’s commitment to fostering constructive labour relations, promoting staff welfare, and supporting the professional growth and development of its workforce,” the refinery said in a statement.
