Workers of state power distributor Electricity Company of Ghana (ECG) are continuing their two-day sit down strike which started on Friday 2 September.
Monday’s strike will be the end of the two-day industrial action. The strike is on the orders of the Public Utility Workers Union (PUWU) whose leadership says it feels disrespected by the attitude of the Millennium Development Authority (MiDA) as far as its comments and actions regarding the union’s three-day nationwide demonstration against the privatisation of ECG are concerned.
In a circular issued on Thursday after a meeting, PUWU said: “All staff across ECG’s operational areas are to report to work but no official duties will be carried out today 2 September, 2016 and Monday 5 September, 2016.”
The circular, however, directed staff to pay attention to critical areas like hospital theatres as well as security installations should a fault occur.
“All staff are to wear red attire to work on Monday. All the above actions are in protest of MiDA’s gross disrespect, lack of transparency and lack of trust. All members are to take note and comply,” the circular added.
