The Bulk Oil Storage and
Transportation Company Limited, BOST signed a Collective Bargaining Agreement
with its Senior Staff Association with a
promise to complete and sign same for Junior Staff within a week. This
follows close to twelve (12) years of inconclusive discussions on the matter
which from the records has inflamed passions at some point in time and decided
the fates of some past Managing Directors of the company.
In his opening address for the
signing ceremony at the Boardroom of the company, the Managing Director, Mr.
George Mensah-Okley maintained that nothing happens in a company except when
same is done through the people and by the people. This he said is the reason
why coming out with a document to outline the entitlements and disciplinary
procedures for the regulation of employee relations is key to the success of
every company.

The Chairman of the Board of
Directors, Mr. Ekow Hackman on his part thanked the Human Resource Committee of
the Board, the General Managers and Union Representatives for the speedy
execution of the assigned task of developing a standard Conditions of Service
Agreement for BOST and seeing to the signing of same. He urged the Union representatives
at the ceremony to continue engaging their members to give off their best in
seeing the BOST dream to fruition. He said, it is only when the workers commit
to their tasks that the goals of the company can be achieved in full.
The Board Chairman also
applauded the efforts of the new BOST Management under the leadership of Mr.
Okley. In just a year of this leadership, some good progress was being made to
reposition BOST where it belonged

In expressing their gratitude to
the Management and Board of the company, the Chairman of the Senior Staff
Association, Mr. Abdul Jallil praised the Managing Director for his exemplary
leadership which has resulted in the accomplishment of a task which has been
outstanding for close to twelve years. He also advised the Board of Directors
to ignore faceless petitioners who hide behind emerging communication
technologies to harm the reputation of the company and further assured
Management of the support of the Union in working towards the achievement of
the BOST dream.
The General Secretary of the
Industrial and Commercial Workers’ Union, Mr. Solomon Kotei praised the Board
and Management of BOST for the giant step towards securing the present
conditions and future of the employees. This is the way to go and we believe
that this document will serve as a reference point to motivate staff for higher
performance and to see the company to the achievement of its targets.
The
Ceremony was witnessed by all General Managers of BOST, the Senior Staff Executives,
a representation from the Board of Directors and a delegation from the
Industrial and Commercial Workers’ Union.A
