Workers of the Precious Mineral Marketing Company Limited (PMMC) have called off its demonstration after management guaranteed to address their grievances.
This was made possible after an agreement was signed between Mr. Prince William Ankrah, the General Secretary of the Ghana Mineworkers Union (GMU) and Dr. Kwadjo Opare-Hammond, the Managing Director of PMMC.
In a statement signed by Mr. Prince William Ankrah, he agreed that there have been communication gaps between management and workers, which largely contributed to the unfortunate impasse.
The statement said both the GMU and the PMMC shall work together to improve and deepen communication within the organization adding that “management as an immediate response to the gaps in communication, shall set up an Employee Satisfaction Unit under the framework of the Whistle Blower Act, 2006, to complement the existing communication channels”.
“Management shall work assiduously to address all the concerns raised and the workers on their part shall observe and respect the grievance procedures within the organization”.
The statement said some of the concerns raised by the workers in relation to policy infractions such as recruitment and promotions were matters, which were already receiving attention by the Board.
However, GMU and the Management of PMMC have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to ensure all issues are resolved.
