Starting July 1, 2024, fuel tanker drivers in Ghana will receive suitable remuneration as outlined in the policy framework presented to their employers and regulators.
This agreement resolves the issues that prompted the tanker drivers to strike on Tuesday, May 21.
Francis M.K. Sallah, the Deputy General Secretary of the General Transport Drivers and Chemical Workers Union of the TUC, announced this development.
He further stated that all stakeholders have agreed to the modalities outlined in the framework.
“We met on the document because other stakeholders involved indicated that there are other portions in the document that need a bit of clarity. We have cleared many of the doubts in the document. Inclusive of it is employer-employee relationships.
“That must be adhered to. We would finish this and ensure that parties are clear on all aspects. And then by the end of June, all data of the tanker operators and their assistants would be captured.
“That is before the end of June, to ensure that effective 1st July, all the tanker operators and their assistants will receive their monthly salaries and other allowances that is required.”
