Galamsey: Austin Gamey praises Organised Labour’s nationwide strike

Labour analyst, Austin Gamey has commended Organised Labour for announcing a nationwide strike in the wake of the galamsey crisis.

Mr Gamey said the union by its move is standing up as the voice of the voiceless and worthy of praise.

Organised Labour at an emergency meeting on Tuesday declared a nationwide strike effective October 10, 2024, over what they describe as the government’s failure to address the menace.

This follows the expiration of a September 30 deadline for the government to put in place decisive measures to tackle galamsey.

Reacting to this, Mr Gamey admitted the impact of the strike in the country.

However, he believed that the action was justified.

“Yes, it will cause disruptions, but it’s a worthy disruption. We should applaud Organised Labour for standing up for the voiceless in this country,” he stated.
