UTAG, Organized Labour Strike Aimed at Making Gov’t Unpopular – Amenfi West NPP Constituency Chairman

The Amenfi West NPP Constituency Chairman, Mr. Obed Asamoa has accused the University Teachers Association of Ghana (UTAG) and organized labour unions of embarking on a strike aimed at making the government unpopular. This statement comes amidst the unions’ declaration of an indefinite strike in protest of illegal mining activities in the country.

According to the chairman, the strike is politically motivated, intended to discredit the government’s efforts. However, UTAG and other unions argue that the illegal mining threatens the lives of Ghanaian.

He challenged the logic behind the proposed industrial actions, suggesting that galamsey is not carried out in Accra.

Students have expressed frustration, feeling caught in the middle of the strike action nationwide.

According to him, the government is ever ready to settle the galamsey menace to avoid causing mayhem to our water bodies.

The strike emphasizes the ongoing conflict between labor unions and the government. As negotiations unfold, the fate of Ghana’s education sector and economic stability hangs in the balance.
