Tension is rising at the Tema Oil Refinery (TOR) as the General Transport Petroleum and Chemical Workers Union calls for the immediate dissolution of the Board of Directors due to incompetence and alleged underhand dealings.
The aggrieved workers say they cannot guarantee the safety of board members under the current circumstances.
The current TOR Board was constituted some eighteen months ago to among other duties look for strategic partners to revamp the operations of TOR. However, the quest for the board to secure partners according to the workers smacks suspicions.
Both the senior and junior staff of the General Transport Petroleum and Chemical Workers Union of TOR, are demanding the immediate dissolution of the board.
The aggrieved workers accuse the board of permitting a new special purpose vehicle, SPV, named Tema Energy and Processing Limited, with a share allocation of 40% to CAD Investment Holdings, 40% to Torentco, and 20% to a certain TOR Workers Charity Trust that they do not endorse.
The National Chairman of the General Transport Petroleum and Chemical Workers Union of the TOR, Bernard Owusu, Addressing the media after a heated meeting between management and the union called for immediate desolation of the board.
