The Concerned Drivers Association has hinted at plans to embark on a two-day sit-down strike against galamsey activities in the country.
The group which has expressed disappointment in organised labour’s decision to make a U-Turn on today’s planned industrial action says a two-day strike by drivers will send a strong signal to government to fight the menace.
This decision comes after NEC of the University Teachers Association of Ghana (UTAG) declared an indefinite strike, effective today October 10 despite organised labour suspension.
This follows an overwhelming vote in favour of industrial action to support a nationwide ban on mining and prospecting activities in ecologically sensitive areas.
The decision, was backed by 77.95% of UTAG members across 15 branches, which underscores the association’s firm stance on protecting the environment from destructive mining practices.
