In this regard, we hereby write to officially notify you that PUWU, and all its members, except Production and Maintenance Units shall join in this nationwide strike, starting from Thursday, 10th October, 2024 as per the attached statement.”
Organised Labour has confirmed a nationwide strike starting Thursday, October 10, 2024, in response to the government’s inaction on the galamsey menace.
