A nationwide strike action by Organised Labour has affected activities in the Eastern region.
Some labour groups in Koforiuda, including circuit courts A and B, the birth and death ministry, and other sectors, were locked at the ministries.
Chairs for patients were empty, with few staff at the premises, a visit by Mybrytfmonline to Koforidua Poly Clinic has brought this to light.
People visiting the ministry’s for their business need to revisit the offices again due to the strike. The strike was in protest against the sale of 60 percent of Social Security and National Insurance Trust (SSNIT) shares in four hotels.
Organised Labour declared the strike on Friday, July 12, over the proposed sale of SSNIT’s 60 percent shares in some four hotels to Rock City Hotel Limited.
Organised Labour has called off its nationwide strike, which began on Monday, July 15, 2024.
At an emergency meeting held in Accra on Monday, Dr Yaw Baah, Secretary General of the Trades Union Congress, said they had decided to end the strike and requested all workers to resume work on Tuesday, July 16, 2024.
He indicated that they had also given SSNIT a one-month ultimatum to engage with them to address all outstanding issues related to the management of pensions.
Dr Baah cautioned that they would “advise themselves” if SSNIT failed to meet this demand.
He expressed gratitude to all the working people of Ghana and all Organized Labour groups for their support during the strike.
