The senior staff of the Ghana Airways Association (GASSA) and the local union have called on the government to use the audit report carried out by the Daily Guide newspaper to give out judgments on the issue for them to know their fate.

At a press conference in Accra on Monday, the chairman of GASSA Mr. Roland Mosore, said redundancy negotiations were made by government in September last year to find lasting solutions to the payment of severance to the workers of Ghana Airways as a last ditch measure to surrender the assets of the organization to Ghana International Airlines but to no avail.

According to him, "after several negotiation meetings, we realized that the government negotiation team did not have a coherent plan for undertaking the redundancy programme, but kept buying time to allow the Ghana International Airlines to begin".

He mentioned that some of the staff have lost their lives owing to the socio-economic problems or the financial constraints that they are facing. "Most of us have more than one wife and plenty children and find it tedious to feed them because for about six months now, we have not received our salaries," he lamented.

"Government should come out with its intentions for us to know our stands because we cannot afford to lose our lives like that," he added.

He complained that the government is not being fair to them and implored the National Labour Commission to prove itself to the whole world what it is capable of doing than being influenced by the government.

He also called on all Ghanaians and the media to support the present position of the staff of Ghana Airways and to call on the government to submit itself to the laws of Ghana and to the international labour laws and find a solution to the problem.
