President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo has urged organised labor to reassess its upcoming nationwide strike on October 10, emphasizing his dedication to resolving issues linked to illegal mining that is causing extensive harm to the environment.
This request was brought up in a private meeting with labor representatives on October 3, with the main topic being illegal mining. Reports suggest that the President asked for a delay in the strike so that there would be additional time to deal with the unions’ requests.
Organised Labour is displeased with the government’s insufficient reaction to illegal mining, which they claim is causing substantial environmental damage. The unions are advocating for immediate measures to safeguard Ghana’s natural resources.
