Striking Sofoline interchange workers refuse to work due to a curse

Striking workers of the Sofoline Interchange Project say they are not going back to work until their leaders reverse a curse invoked to bind them all to their demand for a salary increase by preventing them from returning to work prematurely.

Union leaders invoked the Antoa Nyamaa deity to deal with anybody who goes against the group's decision to strike.

But a day after their employers, China GEO-Construction, agreed a 25 per cent salary increase, the workers say they will return to work only under the condition that the curse is overturned.

Meanwhile, Chairman of the Construction Workers Union Rudolph Asoala has hinted to Luv News that arrangements are being made to get the curse overturned.

He explained that the Personnel Manager of the company, who is a chief, was leading the workers to the Asantehene's chief priest to have the curse reversed on Friday.
