UTAG has announced their intention to join the ongoing organised labour strike in the coming days.
They argue that SSNIT’s decision to withdraw the sale of four hotels is insufficient.
UTAG is demanding the dissolution of the SSNIT board and the removal of its management, led by Kofi Osafo-Maafo, for overseeing what they deem a controversial transaction.
SSNIT recently pulled back from selling a 60% stake in its struggling hotels following a nationwide strike call by organised labour affecting all public sector employees.
Concurrently, Rock City Hotel has retracted its bid to purchase the hotels, citing the negative publicity and lack of stakeholder consultation preceding the sale decision.
