A labour expert, Senyo Adjabeng, has stated that Organised Labour cannot back down on their planned strike action in protest against illegal mining (galamsey) if the demands are not met.
According to him, Organised Labour is a structured institution, which is why they are usually slow to declare a strike, as the process is extensive.
Consequently, retracting a strike action becomes more difficult than the declaration itself. "So currently what is going on is a number of consultations leading to a possible actuarial strike action that has been declared.
So it cannot be ruled out, it cannot be stopped, it has gained momentum," he said on Top Story on Friday, October 4.
