We\u2019ve had enough from the retirees because they have overstayed their positions. They have now become a burden, they have taken most positions meant for up-and-coming staff. They don\u2019t recognize human resources, they should leave us to work. The head of HR, head of ICT, head of logistics, head of maintenance amongst others are all retirees. They don\u2019t have any documents indicating that they have been re-employed. We are about 500-600 staff seeking the removal of 27 staff, they are a burden to us,\u201d Mr. Tetteh explained on\u00a0Eyewitness News.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A section of the agitating staff on Monday went on a 5-hour strike to press home their demands which includes salary concerns while the other group stayed at work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Mr. Tetteh said, \u201cwe believe our message has been carried across to the highest authorities\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He stated that the plant has been shut down, adding that they will continue to resist until these spent forces are sacked from office.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=\/gOBcA-jFjWw\">https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=\/gOBcA-jFjWw<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>SEND A STORY:<\/strong>\u00a0Do you have a story for us or need a promotion \/ advertisement?
