Golden Tulip Workers Demonstrate Over Salaries

Workers of the Golden Tulip Hotel in Accra on Thursday morning staged a demonstration to protest against what they describe as poor working conditions and the non-payment of salaries. Citi FM�s Rabiu Alhassan who was at the Hotel said �the place was quite filled with about three hundred workers of the hotel who were protesting the non-payment of their salaries. They were demanding for salary increases and improved working conditions.� He stated that the workers revealed that employees and management were expected to negotiate for salary increases two years ago, but �that did not happen.� Rabiu also stated the management of the hotel had failed to respond to concerns raised by employees, adding that they returned to work after the management of the hotel secured a deal with the workers. Speaking to Citi News, an employee of the hotel, Mustapha Quansah said the demonstration had become necessary since management had failed to heed to their concerns. � For sometime now we have been having problems with management regarding how the hotel is gradually declining�,�he said
