Organised Labour has suspended their planned October 10 strike against the illegal mining menace in the country.
This was announced by the Secretary General of the Trade Union Congress (TUC) Joshua Ansah on Wednesday, following the government’s announcement of steps it is making to clamp down on the menace.
This comes days after the industrial group indicated that it was proceeding with its action as the government’s measures had not met its expectations.
In his submission to union members, Mr. Ansah indicated that the President had directed the Lands Minister to submit a request to Parliament for the revocation of L.I. 2462.
He mentioned that this, along with the deployment of soldiers to assist in the fight and the establishment of 14 courts for the trial of all arrested illegal miners showed enough commitment on the government’s part.
The TUC boss added that government would see a reaction from organised labour if they do not fulfill their promise.
Meanwhile, the presidency has explained the moves it is making to meet labour halfway in terms of their demands.
