Speaking to the media, the disappointed workers that they're soon going to withdraw due to the poor conditions of services coupled with their risks at work.

According to the Association, they risk their lives to climb and install service machines on high Mask(Towers)that belong to the various telecommunication networks such as Airtel-Tigo, MTN, Vodafone etc. They said contractors who normally negotiate these contracts with the various Telco's refuse to give them the expected amount they're supposed to be given.

Mr. Norris Yeboah, acting Chairman of the group, speaking to media revealed that it was very painful they're being threatened to be replaced by Nigerian counterparts, thus whenever they call for a service increment.

He however pleaded with the authorities to as a matter of urgency look at their toils and attend to their calls.

According to him, monies given to them with respect to the risk involved in their work, is nothing to write home about.
The construction of the cell sites(civil engineers), electrical installation, the Tower erection and the installation of the equipment on Towers(poles) for MTN, Tigo, Voda,Glo etc for the people of Ghana to enjoy better networks services to interact with the outside world ,enjoying Voice calls and internet services at their convenient locationsp(Facebook,Twitter,etc)

We risk our lives and the amount of money we take as a home pay are nothing to write home about.

'We're really suffering, they refuse to give us what we deserve. The most painful part is that we fight for our own insurance, SNNIT etc and whenever you complain, they take you out of the contract which is not fair", he lamented.
