Dear Organised Labour, I write to first thank you for waking up from your sleep after so many years of allowing the politicians to have their way.

Your recent campaign against the sale of SSNIT hotels shows that your failure to act when it matters makes you accomplices of the political crimes Ghanaians have been subjected to over the years.

I am writing to you about your recent threat to strike on October 10 if the government doesn't stop the illegal mining activities.

These are my observations and humble request: This is a political season, and the government does not want to touch the issue of illegal mining for fear of losing votes to the opposition NDC.
