This is common in all Asian companies operating in our country today with the government doing nothing about it.We have slave masters operating in our country with impunity.

@Grammarian. Couldn't agree with you more. Just examine the following sentence:

"They indicated that their over four months’ engagement had been characterized by maltreatment and infringement on their rights as Ghanaians, with no disregard for the country’s labour laws."

If they have not disregarded any of the country's labor laws, then what is the issue here? The issue is certainly one of bad journalism! Elizabeth Ohene and Cameron Duodu must be wondering whatever happened to the quality of journalism in Ghana!

English is not our mother tongue, but must we use that as an excuse to commit unpardonable grammatical error much to the embarrassment our journalists?

Do you think a Chinese company in North America or Europe can do such a thing? There is something called labor laws which prohibits employers from sacking employees for lawful strike. Our leaders are a joke. This is the new form of slavery. Give loan to a country, then have them give a contract to a company from the loan giving country.

You always complain about everything. Ghanaians take everything for granted. Besides, you're very lazy. I applaud the Chinese for their actions. Next time learn lessons.

This is one of the greatest insults. For a Chinese to abuse a Ghanaian in his own country? Ghana has fallen apart.

Our people are just pure lazy and thinks they must be even be paid more than the owner of the company they work for.
Where in this world that a worker wants only his or her way?
The so called TUC , must start to educate worker of the need to work for the company to make profit so it can expand to be able to employ many people.
Many of our people outside do some jobs that these lazy people at home can't dream off .
Pity that when they come home they never tell thier stories.
We must stand up as a nation to work hard for our country.
We are not working for the chines , the europien or the American who is working in our country but to make our country move foward.
Nobody must be decived that because we in our country we are always right . it is only a fool who thinks like that.

It seems people forget these workers only work for the company for four months, They are still on probation. We need to know the truth.

I am very sure that there are many Ghanaian entrepreneurs eagerly waiting to continue where the chinese slave traders left... picking up that business and re-employing all these abused workers...

come to china and see, chinese ppl work more than 6am to 6pm. these biased newsmen should wise up! why suddenly call the company a 'a chinese company'. must we call it a chinese company to make our point clear? do u think it's easy to employ 180 workers? how many ppl do ghanaian companies employ? why did you not contact the company for their response but run to put the news here.

if a worker is not happy with his working conditions why not leave? am dont defending the company but we ghanaians must know that when manangement pampers workers the results will be a collapsed company.

no doubt ghana airways, ghana telecom, ghana railways, etc... have collapsed.

Do you know how China built her economy? They sacrificed to work for peanuts, and they still do. Chinese are hardworking, working for long hours for very little remuneration. The truth is that Ghanaians are generally lazy. We always demand for more money even if that will lead to the collapse of the company. Do you remember how Ghanaian workers kept stealing materials meant for the construction of the Tamale and Takoradi stadiums? The Chinese were forced to sack most of the workers and import their compatriots from China. Check around and you will see that our workers have sat out demanding more money from the Brazilian company constructing the circle interchange all many such companies. We are simply lazy and will not mind killing the bird that lays the golden egg. Yes, there are bad companies but in most of these cases the demands are unjustifiable considering our work ethics and output.

Ghana must be very careful because we are becoming indebted to China. Sooner or later they will take over Ghana watch. All the grants they are giving Ghana is not free.
