Concerns are mounting over alleged labor exploitation at the China Mall in Tamale, following claims that workers are subjected to long hours for meager wages.
According to a social media report, employees earn a monthly salary of Ghc 700, but Ghc 200 is deducted for Social Security while another Ghc 100 goes toward uniforms supplied by the company. After these deductions, workers are left with just Ghc 400 as take-home pay.
The situation has been described as particularly harsh given that employees reportedly work up to 14 hours a day. The development has reignited debates about poor labor standards, wage exploitation, and the lack of strict enforcement of labor laws in Ghana.
Many observers believe the issue highlights the need for authorities, especially the Labour Commission, to intensify monitoring and ensure fair treatment of workers in private establishments across the country.
