In a significant turn of events, Organised Labour has decided to suspend its planned strike on Monday, July 10, 2023, after a crucial meeting with the Council of State.
The initial announcement by the group called for all workers to stay at home in solidarity with the dismissal of three union leaders by the management of Sunon Asogli Power (Ghana) Limited, as reported by 3news.
The decision to suspend the strike was influenced by the ongoing negotiations between the management of Sunon Asogli and Dr Anthony Yaw Baah, the Spokesperson of Organised Labour and Secretary General of the Ghana Trades Union Congress (TUC).
Unfortunately, the discussions had reached an impasse, leading to disappointment during the meeting held on Thursday, July 6, 2023.
After expressing their dissatisfaction and determination to proceed with the sit-at-home strike, the Council of State swiftly intervened. As a result, Organised Labour decided to call off their plan temporarily.

However, as stated in the report, the Council has granted Sunon Asogli management a period of five working days to reinstate the dismissed union leaders.
Consequently, the strike has been put on hold until the expiration of the ultimatum provided by the Council of State.
