Accra- the FPSO workers of MODEC Ghana Limited, the company that runs FPSO Kwame Nkrumah have laid down their working tools at the Jubilee fields, Talk of Ghana reports. This mean oil that was coming from the plant would not be coming anymore until the situation is resolved. The 40 workers who belong to the MODEC Ghana Local Workers Union say they are tired of poor working conditions as compared other
colleagues. According to them, they are paid between Gh2, 500 to Gh3000 a month while their expatriate counterparts take an average of between $5,000 to
$10,000, a difference of about 800%. Secretary for the Workers’ Union, Eric Ofori told GhNews they are not resuming work until something positive is heard from their employers. “We are sitting down; we are not working
until our demands are met. We have resolved that we are not going to go back to work until our grievances are met,” Mr.
Ofori told Kwesi Aboagye.
