Organised Labour has decided to suspend its planned strike scheduled for Monday, July 10, 2023, after engaging in a crucial meeting with the Council of State.
The group had initially declared that all workers should observe a day of solidarity by staying at home on Monday, July 10. This action was in response to the dismissal of three union leaders by the management of Sunon Asogli Power (Ghana) Limited.
The report added that this was also prompted by the gridlock in arriving at a conclusion in negotiations between the management of Sunon Asogli, and the Spokesperson of Organised Labour, Dr Anthony Yaw Baah, who is also the Secretary General of the Ghana Trades Union Congress (TUC).
The group had also expressed its disappointments in the outcomes of its Thursday, July 6, 2023, meeting on the matter.
It was after this that the Organised Labour had given notice that it was going to embark on a sit-at-home strike on Monday, July 10.
But the swift intervention of the Council of State has seen the group call off its plan.
The report added that the Council has however given the management of Sunon Asogli working days to reinstate the dismissed union leaders.
Technically, the strike has been put on hold until the expiration of the five-days ultimatum given them by the Council of State.
