The Mortuary Workers Association has served notice of their intention to embark on a strike action.
The nationwide strike action is set to begin Thursday, September 26, 2024, in protest of poor working conditions and unresolved grievances.
The workers accused the government of failing to address their demands and improve their working conditions.
In a statement dated Tuesday, September 17, MOWAG General Secretary Richard Kofi Jordan stated that the government has failed to address their concerns, which include inadequate provision of personal protective equipment (PPE), leaving workers exposed to diseases and hazards.
The workers also raised salary arrears dating back to 2020 that remain unpaid, and the request for financial clearance to employ 500 additional mortuary workers has been ignored.
MOWAG is also demanding payment of the COVID-19 bonus announced by the President, which mortuary workers have yet to receive.
