The industrial action takes effect from Thursday, October 10, 2024.
The decision was arrived after a crunch meeting by the labour unions today (October 1) after the expiration of the September 30 deadline given to the President to declare a state of emergency over illegal mining [galamsey].
“Following the expiration of our deadline, and the failure of government to meet our demands on illegal mining (galamsey), Organised Labour has decided to declare a nationwide strike with effect from October 10, 2024,” a press statement dated October 1, 2024 issued by Organised Labour said.
“We are therefore calling on all workers to stay at home staring Thursday, October 10, 2024 until government accede to our demands.”
The signatories to the press statement are Joshua Ansah, Secretary General of the TUC, Isaac Bampoe Addo, Chairman of Forum and Kenneth Koomson, Deputy Secretary General of Ghana Federation of Labour
