NAGRAT issues one-week ultimatum to govt over unpaid pensions for 700K workers

Carbonu emphasized that these contributions are being deducted from workers’ salaries but not reaching the designated institutions.

This raises serious doubts, according to NAGRAT, about the future financial security of these workers, particularly upon retirement.

But unfortunately, the government we serve has decided to take from the Ghanaian workers and the various unions what even belongs to them.

Every month workers pay dues to their unions and these dues are deducted from the salary of the workers!

Also, workers are supposed to be deducted money from their salaries into their tier two -pension scheme so as to safeguard their future.”

“Unfortunately, though these monies are taken and deducted by the Controller and Accountant General’s Department on behalf of the Ghanaian worker, the monies have not been transferred into the various institutions which are the destinations for these monies

We want to state that by the close of next week Friday, all monies deducted from our members must be transferred immediately into the accounts of the institutions they are designated to be transferred to, otherwise, we don’t have any option than to embark on a series of activities to ensure that the right thing is done
