Crisis looms as Ghana faces waves of strikes by unions

Ghana faces a potential wave of strikes across various sectors, with five unions already on strike and five more planning to join by the end of September 2024.

Striking groups, including NCCE, TEWU, and GAUA, are protesting poor working conditions, unpaid allowances, and delayed pension deductions.

Upcoming strikes involve CETAG, UTAG, CLOGSAG, and Organized Labor, demanding better conditions, a halt to mining activities, and environmental protection.

The strikes threaten to disrupt essential services such as education, civic administration, and public services, posing a significant risk to the nation’s economy and stability.
