In a dramatic escalation of the ongoing labor dispute, assembly staff, part of organized labor, have been barred from working due to threats against the government.
Galamsey operators stormed the Amenfi East assembly in the Western region stopping the activities of the assembly.
This development has sparked concerns about potential disruptions to essential services.
The dispute stems from the government’s stance on small-scale mining, which has been a contentious issue in Ghana.
Organized labor has been vocal about its opposition to illegal mining, citing environmental concerns and the need for better working conditions.
In recent times, labor unions have been pushing for better working conditions, increased wages, and improved benefits.
The current dispute, however, revolves around the government’s stance on small-scale mining.
The work ban has already affected several districts, with essential services grinding to a halt.
The outcome will have far-reaching implications for Ghana’s workforce and economy.
