The Managing Director of GIHOC Distilleries Limited, Maxwell Kofi Jumah cautioning his staff against joining a planned strike by Organised Labour sparked public outrage.
According to checks conducted by GhanaWeb, the GIHOC boss cannot dismiss his staff who partake in the Labour Union's strike action because the Labour Act 2003 opposes such a measure.
The act states that any strike action taken by a group of workers against their employer over a dispute shall not result in the termination of their contracts because it is deemed to be legal.
It adds that once an individual is supporting the group or showing sympathy to aid their group in resolving an issue with the employer, it does not violate labour regulations.
