Workers of the Tema Oil Refinery (TOR), intend to protest against the management of the refinery and government for failing to ensure the availability of crude oil for the refinery to process.
At a meeting organised by Petroleum Workers Union, the workers resolved among other things, not to stay quiet while the refinery rotted. In line with this, they intend to do everything possible to ensure that the refinery resumes operation.
According to them, they cannot continue to sit idle when the reason for being in the refinery is to work.
Addressing the workers, the National Chairman of the General Transport Petroleum and Chemical Workers Union, Bernard Owusu, said it is baffling that government is mobilising gold for refined petroleum products but cannot make similar arrangements for crude oil for TOR to refine.
Mr. Owusu assured the Staff of TOR the Union’s commitment to ensure that TOR restarts operations.
