The Ghana Airports Company Workers Union has temporarily suspended its strike, which disrupted airline operations at the Kotoka International Airport Friday morning.
Speaking to the media, Deputy General Secretary of the Public Services Workers Union, John Sampah, said after a brief meeting with Ministers-designate for National Security, Employment and Labour Relations as well as Transport, the workers reached an agreement to have another meeting to resolve the issues/impasse.
The Ministers-designate have been on the premises of the airport to convince the Union leaders to call off the strike which is intended to force out the Managing Director of the Ghana Airports Company, Yaw Kwakwa, for alleged mismanagement of the company.
