The Public Service Workers’ Union (PSWU) of the Trades Union Congress (TUC) has instructed its members to begin a strike on Thursday, October 10, 2024, in response to the government’s failure to address issues related to illegal mining, commonly known as *galamsey*.
In a statement released on October 8, 2024, the PSWU highlighted that the decision aligns with a collective stance taken by Organised Labour. The union has formally notified management of the planned strike and urged them to respect the decision.
The strike will remain in effect until further notice as part of Organised Labour’s efforts to push for action on the pressing *galamsey* concerns.
