Business News of Monday, 6 January 2020Source: citibusinessnews.comGhana Manganese Company, govt impasse could lead to worker agitation – GRWUFile photoThe Ghana Railway Workers Union (GRWU) has warned of possible agitations by its members, if President Akufo-Addo fails to address the ongoing impasse between government and the Ghana Manganese Company, which has had to halt its operations since December 2019. The company had to suspend its operations after it exceeded its export target of 5 million metric tonnes of manganese ore for 2019, a development which government is not happy about. If the situation continues then paying salaries in January will become a challenge and government will have to come and dole out money for salary payment. In an interview with Citi Business News a highly placed source at Ghana Manganese Company said discussions were ongoing with the government to address all issues relating to the operations of the company to ensure that it resumes operations. When pushed to reveal how soon they’ll start working, the source couldn’t say.
