Following an emergency meeting on Monday, July 15, the Trades Union Congress (TUC) has suspended its planned strike.
The industrial action was slated to begin on the same day in protest of the Social Security and National Insurance Trust’s (SSNIT) controversial decision to sell a 60% stake in four hotels to Rock City Hotel, a company owned by the Minister for Food and Agriculture, Bryan Acheampong.

In a show of solidarity, numerous public organizations announced on July 12, that they would join the strike, suspending services to the public on Monday.
This collective action prompted SSNIT to reconsider its plans, ultimately leading to the cancellation of the controversial sale of their stake.
Before the meeting, certain organized labor members started carrying out the strike directive, leaving their posts before the eventual suspension.
However, according to a press release by the Secretary General of the TUC, Dr. Yaw Baah, all workers are expected to resume work on Tuesday, July 16.
“At an emergency meeting held today, Monday 15, 2024, Organized Labour has decided to call off the strike. All workers are requested to resume work on Tuesday, 16th July, 2024,” an excerpt of the statement read.
