A majority of Ghanaian workers may not show up for work starting October 10, 2024, as the Trades Union Congress (TUC) has declared a nationwide strike.
The group explains that its decision is driven by the government's failure to meet its ultimatum to halt all forms of mining in forest reserves across the country.
A few days ago, the TUC presented three key demands, including the immediate evacuation of all mining equipment from forest reserves and areas around water bodies.
They also called for the deployment of the Police and Military with full orders to remove or destroy all mining and earth-moving equipment near river bodies and within forest reserves.
