A Labour expert Austin Gamey has said the only remaining force to ensure that the President acts against illegal small-scale mining (Galamsey) is organised labour.
To him, all the other forces that could compel the president to act had failed.
Mr Gamey therefore impressed upon the labour unions not to also fail the people.
Speaking on the Big Issue on TV3 on Tuesday, October 8, he suggested to the government to "ban small-scale mining for at least five years to restore the environment." 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.
