Ghana Mine Workers’ Union Confronts Escalating Labor Rights Violations…

The Ghana Mine Workers’ Union (GMWU) is taking a strong stand against the increasing violation of workers’ rights in the country’s mining industry.

Abdul-Moomin Gbana, the General Secretary of GMWU at a two-day National Executive Council, expressed grave concern over the blatant abuse of workers’ fundamental rights, such as freedom of association and collective bargaining.

These rights, protected by Ghana’s Labor Act and the Constitution, as well as ILO Conventions 87 and 98, have been persistently disregarded, particularly by foreign multinational companies operating in Ghana, he lamented.

Gbana recounted the unfortunate case of Sunon Asogli Power (Ghana) Limited, where the termination of three local union leaders’ appointments drew widespread condemnation.

Despite numerous pleas to various authorities, including the Ministry of Employment and Labour Relations and the National Labour Commission, the situation remains unresolved. This prompted the GMWU and the Trades Union Congress (TUC) to demand justice and the immediate reinstatement of the dismissed union leaders.

Additionally, Gbana raised concerns about the declining gains in decent work achieved over the years. Non-standard forms of employment have surged, leading to a reduction in standard employment.

“Workers in non-standard employment are often subjected to inferior conditions, including reduced wages and pensions. This trend poses a serious threat to workers’ well-being and perpetuates working poverty,” the General Secretary said.

“Moreover, the escalating insecurity within mining communities and companies is alarming. Workers have faced violent attacks, endangering their lives and safety. The GMWU called on mining companies to invest in modern security infrastructure to protect their employees and assets. They also urged the government, through the Ministry of Lands and Natural Resources and the Ministry of National Security, to provide complementary security measures to address the growing security challenges,” He added.

In conclusion, Abdul-Moomin Gbana emphasized the need for solidarity and collective action to safeguard workers’ rights and well-being in the mining industry. The GMWU is determined to confront these challenges head-on and ensure the protection of Ghanaian workers’ rights.

As the financial community closely monitors the situation, the impact on Ghana’s mining sector and the broader economy remains a subject of concern.
