Organised Labour has remained resolute in carrying out their intended nationwide strike action on October 10, 2024, in spite of calls from the presidency to rescind their decision.
The decision to embark on the nationwide strike was cemented when the said meeting with the President appeared dissatisfactory to the leadership of Organised Labour.
According to the leadership of Organised Labour, the response of the President for their demands made is not encouraging.
Organised Labour has been urging the President to declare a state of emergency on illegal mining and implement long-term solutions to combat the menace, but the response has not been forthcoming.
