The Ghana Mine Workers Union (GMWU) has served notice of a demonstration in three days to make a case for their grievances in respect of the Prestea-Bogoso mine. The leadership of the Union is demanding that the government, through the Lands and Natural Resources Ministry terminates the mining lease of Future Global Resources. General Secretary of the GMWU, Abdul Moomin Gbana, said this when he addressed members in Accra on August 15. "We have resolved that if by August 17th, 2024, no concrete steps are taken by the Minister to bring into effect the terms and conditions of his own conditional approval issued to FGR on April 2024, the Ghana Mine Workers Union and its mining industry, working in concert with the mining communities at Bogoso Prestea shall have no other option, but to take a series of immediate action to press home our demands," he warned. For more than two years the Bogoso and Prestea mine has not been in operation and workers are being owed salaries for more than eight months. Social security and other benefits of the workers are still in limbo. "FGR has been given one hundred and twenty days to raise the needed capital to revamp the mine it operates into full capacity.
