The irate mine workers are complaining about inequality in monthly salaries and non-payment of leave allowances. They are also not happy with management’s decision to include medical, school fees, among other allowances, to their monthly salaries for them to be taxed. According to some of the protestors, the Head of the Mine Department, Ervin Key has proposed to the management, and threatened to phase-out female workers in the department, who have been operating the dump trucks and other moveable machine, with the reason that, the rate at which they frequently get pregnant was alarming. They continued that Mr. Ervin Key buttressed his assertions that, the frequency of pregnancies recorded at the Department, on the part of the female workers, was affecting productivity of the company, and needed to be addressed immediately. Some of the incensed junior staff, alleged that the Departmental Head made some racist comments, but that allegation was quickly refuted by majority of the protestors, who The Chronicle contacted. The protestors argued that Mr. Key’s threat to phase-out the female workers, in the department due to the rate at which they were getting conceived had no bas is, because they were not given specific periods during which they could get pregnant, after they have been given employment. “Once a person is married and is gainfully employed, he or she has the right to have her family, so Key was trying to infringe on the rights of the female workers,” they stressed. |
Junior staff, of the Mining Department of Newmont Ghana Gold Ahafo Mine have embarked on an indefinite strike action, to register their disagreement with management and their representatives, over the decision not to have an end of year party for the mining operations and maintenance crew. The Chronicle learnt that, though the denial of annual end of year party was the basis for their demonstration, there was more to it.
