Organised Labour has called off its indefinite strike action scheduled to begin on Monday, July 15, 2024, following the termination of the sale of 60% of SSNIT’s shares in four hotels.
In a press statement signed by Dr. Yaw Baah, Secretary-General of the Trades Union Congress (Ghana), Dr. Isaac Bampoe Addo, Chairman of the Forum of Public Sector Workers, and Kenneth Koomson, Deputy Secretary-General of the Ghana Federation of Labour, Organised Labour expressed appreciation to all workers and labour groups for their support.
According to the statement, SSNIT informed Organised Labour in a letter dated July 12, 2024, that it had terminated the sale of its stake in the hotels, leading to the decision to call off the strike.
“All workers are requested to resume work on Tuesday, July 16, 2024,” the statement said.
Organised Labour, however, cautioned that it would give SSNIT one month to engage with them to address all outstanding issues related to the management of pensions, failing which they would advise themselves.
“We thank all the working people of Ghana and all Organised Labour groups for their support. Solidarity For Ever!” the statement concluded.
