Organised
Labour
has
called
off
its
nationwide
strike,
which
began
on
Monday,
15th
July
2024.
The
strike
was
in
protest
against
the
sale
of
60
per
cent
of
Social
Security
and
National
Insurance
Trust
(SSNIT)
shares
in
four
hotels.
The
decision
to
call
off
the
strike
came
after
SSNIT,
in
a
letter
dated
12th
July
2024
informed
Organised
Labour
that
it
had
terminated
the
intended
sale
of
its
stake
in
the
hotels
to
Rock
City
Hotel
Owned
by
Bryan
Acheampong.
At
an
emergency
meeting
held
in
Accra
on
Monday,
Dr
Yaw
Baah,
Secretary
General
of
the
Trades
Union
Congress
said
they
had
decided
to
end
the
strike
and
requested
all
workers
to
resume
work
on
Tuesday,
16th
July,
2024.
He
indicated
that
they
had
also
given
SSNIT
a
one-month
ultimatum
to
engage
with
them
to
address
all
outstanding
issues
related
to
the
management
of
pensions.
Dr
Baah
warned
that
they
would
“advise
themselves”
if
SSNIT
fails
to
meet
this
demand.
He
expressed
gratitude
to
all
the
working
people
of
Ghana
and
all
Organised
Labour
groups
for
their
support
during the strike.
