Organized Labor Demands Nationwide Strike to Curb Illegal Mining

-



In a significant escalation of their demands to address the pervasive issue of illegal mining in Ghana, Organized Labor has announced a nationwide strike set to begin on Thursday, October 10, 2024. The labor unions are calling for a complete ban on all forms of small-scale mining.




The decision follows the expiration of a September 30 deadline given to the government to declare a state of emergency in response to the ongoing illegal mining activities, commonly referred to as "galamsey." Despite the deadline, the government failed to take the requested action, prompting Organized Labor to take a more assertive stance.



"Given the government's inaction on our demands to combat illegal mining, we have no choice but to declare a nationwide strike," stated a press release issued by the labor unions. "We urge all workers to stay home on October 10th until the government addresses our concerns."

The strike is being organized by the Trades Union Congress (TUC), the Forum for Labour and Employment Advancement, and the Ghana Federation of Labour.

NEW YORK — Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro has appeared before a United States federal court following his recent arrest and extradition, according to reports from international media outlets. Maduro was transported under heavy security to a federal courthouse in New York for an initial court appearance. The development marks a rare and significant moment in international criminal proceedings involving a sitting head of state. Background to the Case U.S. prosecutors accuse Maduro of involvement in drug trafficking and related criminal conspiracies.
