MR Henry Atakey, the Principal Industrial Relations Officer of the Industrial and Commercial Workers Union (ICU- Ghana), has on behalf of the General Secretary, Mr Morgan Ayawine, sworn in a new eight-member executive of the Local Union of the New Times Corporation (NTC).

The rest are Mr John Mensah (First Trustee), Mr Kenneth Amfoh Mensah (Second Trustee), Mr Eric Cobbinah (Executive Member) and Mr David Tetteh (Youth Representative).

After administering the oath of office, Mr Atakey urged the new executive members to handle membership dues of the union wisely. He further advised them to be humble and continue to work hand in hand with the Interim Management Committee (IMC) of the corporation for the wellbeing of workers.
