Workers of the Metro Mass Transit Limited in the Brong Ahafo region are gearing up to embark on a strike to register their displeasure at a delay in negotiating their annual salary increase.
When the GNA visited the MMT main station in Sunyani, both the drivers and the conductors were seen wearing red bands and were going about their normal duties.
Mr. Stephen Boakye, the regional secretary of the union, said they received a directive from the divisional union in Kumasi to join their colleagues in a nation-wide exercise to wear the red bands up to Friday.
Asked as to what action they would take after Friday, Mr. Boakye replied that workers would be compelled to lay down their tools and go on an indefinite strike if the outcome of the negotiation was not fruitful.
Major Gabriel Ankamah (RTD), the Brong Ahafo Regional Manager of MMT, expressed surprise at the union's decision and appealed to the workers to work hard to raise revenue to enable the company to increase their salaries.
