MOWAG to renew strike over unresolved grievances

The Mortuary Workers Association of Ghana (MOWAG) has postponed its planned strike, originally scheduled for October 10, as part of efforts to demand improved working conditions.
The General Secretary of MOWAG, Richard Kofi Jordan, explained that the decision to delay the strike comes after the expiration of a two-week ultimatum given to the government on October 9, urging action on their concerns.
The strike was intended to push for better working conditions, including the provision of adequate Personal Protective Equipments (PPE), the payment of outstanding salary arrears, and financial clearance to recruit an additional 500 mortuary workers.
Mr. Jordan expressed frustration over the government's response, accusing it of lacking commitment to resolving their issues.
He noted that while data collection is underway to determine which workers qualify for specific benefits, he believes this is merely a delay tactic.
"We see this data collection as just a stalling tactic. We won’t be swayed by this issue," Mr. Jordan remarked.
He further hinted that MOWAG intends to strike later this month, aiming to make the protest more impactful. "We will strike again very soon, likely within this month.
We want to be strategic, ensuring our strike has maximum impact.
The government needs to recognize our importance.
So far, they’ve been neither faithful nor proactive in addressing our concerns," he added.
He spoke in an interview on Accra-based Citi FM.
