Don't work in troubled areas - PUWU advises ECG staff in Krobo District

The Public Utility Workers Union (PUWU) has directed its members who are staff of the Electricity Company of Ghana (ECG) in the Krobo District not to work in the areas where the youth are formenting trouble.

The ECG workers are therefore, “to remain in the District Office until further notice.”

PUWU also called on “all stakeholders to engage the youth of the area and bring them to order so that the staff of ECG who are PUWU members can go about their duties and serve the good people of the Krobo District in a safe and peaceful environment devoid of threats and physical attacks.”

PUWU in its statement recalled that, “in July this year, some youth of Krobo District took the law into their hands by tampering with ECG’s network, connecting power illegally, and deliberately cutting the fibre-optic connection

The Union stressed that “until a conducive working environment is guaranteed, where ECG staff can freely go about their duties to enhance the business of the company without the support of the security agencies in the municipalities, our members will not risk their lives any further.”
