Ghana's GPRTU Suspends Strike After Talks With Government

GPRTU in Ghana suspends planned strike action after meeting with the Transport Ministry. The planned strike, which threatened to disrupt transportation across the country, has been temporarily halted following discussions between union representatives and government officials. Samuel Amoah, Deputy PRO of GPRTU, stated, "The strike action has been suspended based on a meeting...we don't want the situation whereby some amount of money is going to be added to the fuel product." The suspension is conditional; if fuel prices increase next Monday, the strike will resume. This development offers a temporary reprieve for commuters and businesses affected by the potential disruption. The government's engagement with the union demonstrates a commitment to resolving the issue and averting further economic disruption.
