Over 4000 miners in Ghana have been laid off from their work due to low international
price for gold and high production cost.
The Secretary of
Professional and Managerial Staff Union of Ghana Mine Worker Union, Mathani Awuah disclosed this to Central Press during
the May Day celebration in Cape Coast.
It was on the theme
Ghana’s Economy: A concern for all. The President John Dramani Mahama assured
workers that very soon the country’s economy will turn for the better. The Central
Regional Minister E.K.T Addo read the speech for the President.
The President mentioned that Ghanaians and
government “will remain allies working together for a common cause” and
promised to improve the channels of communications “so that we may strengthen
our collaboration.”
He however denied the assertion by the TUC that
views expressed by organizations and individuals on the economy are treated
with contempt stating that “they are treated with careful consideration.”
