Organised Labour has justified its decision to call off the nationwide strike that was set for October 10, aimed at pressuring the government to take decisive action against illegal mining, locally known as galamsey, which continues to wreak havoc on Ghana’s environment.
The leadership of Organised Labour announced the suspension on Wednesday, October 9, just a day before the strike was due to commence.
The strike had gained widespread support across various sectors, with many Ghanaians backing the group’s call for stronger measures to combat the environmental and social destruction caused by galamsey.
The group’s decision to withdraw from the strike has sparked significant criticism from some quarters, with many accusing the leadership of bowing to external pressure or compromising the fight against galamsey.
