Ghanaian workers in the petroleum sector will from Tuesday, November 18, begin a strike in solidarity with Ghanaian workers of MODEC who were dismissed on November 10, 2014.<\/p>\n

The solidarity strike, backed by the Trades Union Congres (TUC), will involve workers of the Petroleum Tankers Union; the West African Gas Pipeline Company limited (WAPCo), Bulk Oil Storage & Transportation Co. Ltd. (BOST), Tema Oil Refinery (TOR) among others.<\/p>\n

The strike, if effected could lead to fuel shortages and cripple the petroleum sector.<\/p>\n

[contextly_sidebar id=”iFkZNHH9qelnRFNgri8eXQWrRWhPahgD”]About 12 Ghanaian workers at MODEC, private company working at Ghana\u2019s FPSO vessel on the Jubilee oil field, on November 11, withdrew their services to demand the reinstatement of their colleagues<\/strong><\/a><\/span> that were sacked.<\/p>\n

They were subsequently dismissed by MODEC after the workers refused to sign a bond to be of good behaviour<\/a><\/strong><\/span>.<\/p>\n

The Deputy Secretary General of the Trades Union Congress (TUC), Dr. Yaw Baah who confirmed the latest development to Citi Business News<\/strong> said, \u201cOur affiliates are saying that they are going to withdraw their services. A number of the locals are going to stop work.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201c\u2026 Remember they have more affiliates so if government doesn\u2019t listen, MODEC doesn\u2019t listen, those who matter don\u2019t listen, what is going to happen is that, \u00a0more and more of their members are going to join until the guys are reinstated,\u201d he indicated.<\/p>\n

\"pfso<\/a><\/p>\n

Dr. Baah further explained that, \u201cthey think that the Minister of Employment, the Petroleum Commission, Tullow and all those guys\u2026 have not shown enough commitment\u201d adding that \u201cthat is why we are targeting them.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"pfso<\/a><\/p>\n

\u201cWe think Tullow should do better, the Petroleum Commission to do better, we expect the Minister of Employment, we have not heard from him, to do better, this is injustice,\u201d he insisted.<\/p>\n

\"pfso<\/a><\/p>\n

Meanwhile, MODEC has dragged it`s striking employees to the National Labour Commission<\/strong><\/a><\/span> (NLC) to compel them to rescind their decision.<\/p>\n
