The message from Organized Labour resonates with the voices of the general public as the fight to put an end to galamsey continues.
The decision by Organized Labour to have a nationwide strike on October 10 will happen as planned despite calls from the president asking for more time to deal with the menace.
Organized Labour held a crucial meeting today to take a decision on the plea from the president. After the meeting, the union asked all its members to proceed on strike on the said date.
A message from the leadership of Organized Labour reads; “We are of the view that what the government has proposed does not adequately address our demands and therefore our notice of strike remains unchanged…, our strike notice remains unchanged.”
