Organised Labour Declares Nationwide Strike

Spread the love

Organised Labour has declared a nationwide strike to back their demand for an outright ban on all forms of small-scale mining as a measure to halt the illegal mining menace in the country.

The industrial action takes effect from Thursday, October 10, 2024.

The decision was arrived after a crunch meeting by the labour unions today (October 1) after the expiration of the September 30 deadline given to the President to declare a state of emergency over illegal mining [galamsey].

“Following the expiration of our deadline and the failure of the government to meet our demands on illegal mining (galamsey), Organised Labour has decided to declare a nationwide strike with effect from October 10, 2024,” a press statement dated October 1, 2024 issued by Organised Labour said.

“We are therefore calling on all workers to stay at home starting Thursday, October 10, 2024, until the government accedes to our demands.”

The signatories to the press statement are Joshua Ansah, Secretary General of the TUC; Isaac Bampoe Addo, Chairman of Forum; and Kenneth Koomson, Deputy Secretary General of the Ghana Federation of Labour.
