The Ministry of Information has said that the government is surprised by the decision of Organised Labour to proceed with an industrial action over illegal small-scale mining (Galamsey).
Members of Organised Labour have resolved to proceed with the nationwide strike on October 10 despite being urged by President Akufo-Addo to give him more time to address their concerns during a meeting on October 4.
Spokesperson of Organised Labour Joshua Ansah said in Accra on October 7 that they will not back down.
The Organised Labour meeting was held behind closed doors.
