Organised Labour says its indefinite nationwide strike slated for Thursday to demand a declaration of state of emergency on illegal mining (galamsey) and other actions, remains unchanged.
This follows what it described as unsatisfactory outcome of a meeting between labour unions and the government on their demands, last Thursday, two days after the declaration of the strike action.
The Secretary General of the Trade Union Congress (TUC Ghana), Joshua Ansah, disclosed this to journalists yesterday in Accra, after labour unions met to discuss the outcome of the meeting with the government. "Our strike notice remains unchanged, we are of the view that what the government proposed to do does not address our demands and, therefore, our notice remains unchanged," he said.
Asked for details about what transpired at the meeting between organised labour and the government, Mr Ansah said the government promised to collaborate with organised labour and other stakeholders to fight galamsey.
