Gold workers threaten strike on new pay system

Workers of AngloGold Ashanti at the Obuasi mine in Ghana are threatening to stage a demonstration on 2 January to protest a new pay system introduced by the parent company in South Africa.

According to the workers at Obuasi in central Ghana, the new pay system, known as EDICOS, is cumbersome to operate and has led to some anomalies in their salaries.

The Chairman of the workers union, Kwarko Mensah, said the EDICOS system is creating a lot of problems for the workers and the union in particular.

He said the union leaders have been criticised for not protecting the workers` interests with regard to the problems associated with the pay system.

Mensah said though the Obuasi management team is aware of the problem, they cannot do much about it.

A management source told reporters that the problem is receiving the best of attention and expressed the hope that the workers would see the need not to embark on the demonstration.
