NDC praises Organized Labour for being courageous to stand for the masses in galamsey fight

Osman Ayariga, the National Democratic Congress’s (NDC) deputy national youth organizer, has sent a powerful message to organized labor, pleading with them to stick to their demands and not be persuaded by the government’s strategies.

This comes after President Akufo-Addo urged Organized Labour to postpone its planned strike action so that the government may confer with interested parties on the most effective way to address the threat posed by illicit mining.

Speaking on Channel One TV’s The Big Issue on Saturday, Ayariga praised Organised Labour for their bravery and commitment to standing up for Ghanaians’ rights.

“I would like to thank and congratulate Organised Labour for being courageous and being able to stand for the masses for the right thing to be done and for Ghanaians,” Ayariga stated.

He expressed concern that President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo’s current approach to the Labour Union’s threats was merely a strategy to delay action.

“Currently, you will realise that all Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo is seeking to do in this current Labour Union’s threat is just to buy time. He is only interested in buying time from now to December 7,” he said.

Ayariga pleaded with Organized Labor to resist the government’s attempts to impede advancement. “So I beg and plead, please do not capitulate, please do not relent. The country is already shut down,” he added.
