The Ghana National Association of Small-Scale Miners (GNASSM) has called on Organised Labour to reconsider its planned nationwide strike, set for October 10.
Organised Labour's decision to strike stems from the government's failure to meet its demands, which include a total ban on small-scale mining and the declaration of a state of emergency to combat illegal mining, commonly known as galamsey.
GNASSM has expressed concern that the strike would exacerbate Ghana's already fragile economy.
Instead of resorting to strike action, the association urged Organised Labour to collaborate with the government to find lasting solutions to the galamsey crisis.
