GCAA workers to meet chief of staff

Workers of the Ghana Civil Aviation Authority protesting against the encroachment of aviation lands are expected to meet the Chief of Staff, Julius Debrah today, over their concerns.

The meeting was called at the behest of the Chief of Staff when he, together with the Minister of Transport, Fiifi Kwetey and Lands and Natural Resources Minister, Nii Osah Mills intervened to call off a strike that led to the grounding of all domestic flights on Saturday morning.

The meeting, scheduled to take place at the Flagstaff House will among other things be expected to find a lasting solution to the grievances of the aviation workers.

The workers are agitating the encroachment of lands belonging to the GCAA which they contend has made it difficult to install an HF facility worth over 600,000 Euros.

They had earlier warned of a possible judgment to the GCAA and the country at large following the failure to install the equipment by today, July 11, 2016.

Lands and Natural Resources Minister, Nii Osah Mills intervened on Friday to release about 20 acres of land to the GCAA for the installation of the equipment.

But the workers who were unhappy with the offer, declared a strike that grounded all domestic flights for almost six hours on Saturday morning.

The strike was however called off and today’s meeting will determine the next line of action by the workers.
