Akosombo Textiles Limited (ATL) has refuted claims of a sit-down strike by its staff and has affirmed the factory’s operational status. In a press release issued on Friday, the company emphasized recent investments in new machinery, including a biomass boiler and advanced printing equipment.
The management of ATL stated, “The management of Akosombo Industrial Co. Ltd wishes to assure the public that there is no strike at the factory. The factory is fully operational, production is ongoing, and customers are being served. Management remains committed to addressing labor issues when they arise.”
Previous reports suggested a strike by employees over unpaid salaries, outstanding allowances dating back to 2021, and concerns regarding the dismantling and sale of company machinery.
However, the management has denied this, stating that production continues without interruption and customers receive uninterrupted service.
They also affirmed their commitment to promptly addressing any labor-related issues. The company has invested in new machinery, including a biomass boiler and state-of-the-art printing machines to improve efficiency and meet the demands of the market.
This statement comes after reports of a strike at the factory, but ATL has insisted that these reports are false and that there is no disruption to their operations.
There have been concerns raised about unpaid salaries and allowances, but the management has assured that they are working to resolve these issues promptly.
