Workers of the Ghana Civil Aviation Authority have threatened to continue their strike action if their lands are not returned to them.

New information reaching Pulse.com.gh reveals that the unionized workers are planning a more extensive strike action if all the entire 640 acres of land belonging to the Authority are not returned.

According to the workers the seizure of the lands has made it difficult for the Authority to install emergency equipment for the effective delivery of mandated services to stakeholders.

The Lands Minister, Nii Osah Mills after a meeting with the workers allocated the 20 acre land for the installation of the €600,000 equipment, adding that the allocated lands should be enough for the installation of the emergency equipment.

However, the workers of the GCA disagree. They rejected the offer and in protest embarked on a strike Saturday to register their displeasure.

This resulted in the suspension of domestic flight operations for a couple of hours at the airport.
