The Industrial and Commercial Union, ICU-Ghana has called government to rescind any intention to use pension funds in the domestic debt exchange program.
The Union vehemently opposed the government’s decision to appropirate interest on workers’ pension funds in its bid to recover the economy.
A statement issued by ICU-Ghana and sighted by Business Daily, reminds government of the deprivation and bleak future that the proposition will have on the poor pensioner.
The statement signed by its General Secretary Morgan Ayawine warns that if government goes ahead with any such decision the Union will act in consent with other unions in the country to protect the security and welfare of workers, particularly pensioners.
The statement said the future financial security of workers is sacrosanct and must not be violated under any circumstance.
