Organised Labour has declared an indefinite nationwide strike starting from Monday, July 15 over the proposed sale of 60 percent shares in some hotels owned by SSNIT.
The Secretary General of the Trade Union Congress (TUC), Dr Yaw Baah, declared the strike action following an emergency meeting by labour unions at the TUC on Friday afternoon [July 12].
Organised Labour has announced a nationwide strike set to commence on Monday, 15th July, 2024. The action comes in response to the Social Security and National Insurance Trust’s (SSNIT) controversial decision to sell a substantial 60% of its shares in four major hotels to Rock City.
“We are breaking down to make a final decision. But the general consensus is that from Monday we are tired. We are the majority owners of SSNIT. And as majority stakeholders, we have interest. And nobody can rob us of our position and go ahead with the sale of the hotels. They are our properties. We have our contributions and we are the majority. We hold management. We are responsible and we want to hold them to reverse the transaction” he stated.
Organised Labour’s call for a strike is aimed at pressuring SSNIT to reconsider its decision and engage in a more transparent dialogue with stakeholders.
