Court orders British HC to pay compensation to sacked workers

A group of dismissed security workers at the British High Commission have welcomed a High Court ruling directing the Commission to pay the workers compensation for wrongful termination of contract.

The workers, more than seventy, worked with the commission for a little over ten years.

They were relieved of their duties after complaining of the disparity in their job grading.

The aggrieved workers took the issue to the National Labour Commission who ordered the commission to pay the workers an amount of Ten Thousand Ghana Cedis.

Lawyers of the Commission however took the issue to the High Court but lost.

Some of the workers told Joy News they cannot wait to receive their monies.
