The Public Utility Workers Union of TUC-Ghana has declared its intention to participate in the nation-wide strike slated for Thursday, October 10
The union confirmed, in a letter to the Managing Director of the Ghana Water Company on Tuesday, October 8, that its members will join in the industrial action, excluding those working in the Production and Maintenance Units.
This initiative forms part of the broader efforts led by Organized Labour to call on the government to swiftly address pressing issues, including illegal mining.
“At a meeting held on Tuesday, October 1, 2024, in the Conference Room of the Hall of Trades Union in Accra, the leadership of Organised Labour decided to embark on a nationwide strike action against issues Pertaining to Illegal Small-Scale Mining.
“This decision was reinforced by Organised Labour at its meeting held on October 07, 2024, at the Hall of Trades Union. In this regard, we hereby write to officially notify you that PUWU, and all its members, except Production and Maintenance Units shall join in this nationwide strike, starting from Thursday, 10th October, 2024 as per the attached statement.”
Organised Labour has iterated its decision to undetatake nationwide strike starting Thursday, October 10, 2024, in response to the government’s lack of action on the galamsey menace.
This decision comes after their prior notice of industrial action if their concerns are not addressed.
