ATL workers petition Trade Minister over delayed salaries

Workers of the Akosombo Textiles Limited (ATL) have petitioned the Trade and Industry Minister Alan Kyerematen over the high mortality rate among staff of the ailing textile company.

The workers who have not been paid for the past three months say many of them are dying due to increasing economic hardship.

They want government to fulfill a promise made to solve the problem of irregular salary payment.

In the petition cited by Ghanaweb.com, the anxious ATL workers asked government to keep to the timelines to stop the job losses and improve the conditions of service in the textile companies.

Attached is their petition.
