The President of the National Association of Graduate Teachers (NAGRAT), Angel Carbonu, has said that there is nothing that can stop Organised Labour from proceeding with the strike against illegal mining locally known as galamsey.
Mr Carbonu has acknowledged that there is opposition from members of some unions.
However, the majority of the members are in support of the nationwide strike action set to commence on October 10.
“Four campuses of UTAG organised votes and some of them went as high as 70% so though certain individuals are not in support, the overwhelming majority endorsed the strike,” he said.
In an interview on Asempa FM Ekosii Sen programme Tuesday, Mr Carbonu stated that the opposers are free to exempt themselves from industrial action.
But that will not cause the greater population to relent on its quest, stating they are not worried in any way.
“There are over 36 groups that make up Organised Labour but when decisions are taken at plenary, every member is bound by it but if a union decides to break ranks, it is up to them but the union I belong to will not break ranks in a fight like this.
“We are not worried at all by the opposition those who don’t want to go on strike against galamsey can do what they want but when the call is made, the entirety of organised labour will be on strike that I can assure you,” he noted.
