Ghana’s telecommunications system faces a shutdown as workers are set to embark on an indefinite strike from Monday, September 5th, 2022.
The strike, declared by the Telecom and IT Professionals Union, TIP, is to press home demands for a number of conditions of service.
The Union members are mostly outsourced engineers, technicians, IT professionals and other allied workers managing the technical operations of the three major telecom companies, MTN, Vodafone and AirtelTigo.

 

Speaking to GBC News the General Secretary, Israel Agbegbor, said the workers would withdraw their services until three key non-negotiable demands are met by their employers.

He said the group is also demanding an immediate recall of all targeted members of TIP whose contracts have not been renewed by their employers.

These workers were victimised by mere association with the Union and other Union leaders who are part of the current Joint standing negotiation Committee and sub- Committee negotiating the 2022 Collective Agreement and salary increment.

Mr. Agbegbor called on organised labour to add its voice to their concerns to halt what it termed ”the unfair labour practices, victimization of union members and the uncooperative conduct of the employers”.
