Mortuary workers in Ghana are set to embark on a nationwide strike starting Thursday, September 26, 2024, in protest of poor working conditions and unresolved grievances.
The Mortuary Workers Association of Ghana (MOWAG) has served notice to the government, citing deliberate neglect of their demands.
In a statement dated Tuesday, September 17, MOWAG General Secretary Richard Kofi Jordan emphasised that the strike is a last resort after repeated attempts to resolve the issues.
According to workers, their concerns include inadequate provision of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE), leaving workers exposed to diseases and hazards.
