Workers of the Sierra Leone Postal Services are currently enduring serious financial difficulties to perform their official duties effectively.

According to reports, the workers have gone for eight months now without receiving their salaries. ³How can we work when we are not paid for eight months now² questioned one staff who pointed out that the government is not serious about their plights.

Another report also states that work at the parastatal has been in a snail pace as most of the workers have down tools for work until management addresses their situation.

According to the head of the National Commission for Privatization (NCP), Mr. A.R. Turay has maintained that the money generated by the Sierra Leone Postal Services is being used to pay the NCP workers and to run the institution.

However, most of the Salpost workers have expressed dissatisfaction over the way and manner their human rights to work have been violated by the management and the NCP. They have called on the management to intervene.
