The Mortuary Workers Association of Ghana (MOWAG) threatens to strike in November unless the government addresses long-standing grievances, including poor working conditions, low wages, and lack of personal protective equipment.
The Association expressed concerns about poor working conditions through media engagement, calling for better wages, safety, and essential protective gear.
MOWAG’s General Secretary, Richard Kofi Jordan, criticised the government’s delays and data requests. He noted unsuccessful efforts to address issues, leading MOWAG members to consider industrial action amid government inaction.
“We cannot strike in the middle of the month. So we are planning towards another week. It could be the end of this month, it could be the first week of next month [November], whichever it is, we will communicate the same to the public and then you understand.
“As I speak to you, the government has demanded certain data from us and we feel that it is a way to delay the process. They demanded certain data from us, which we are providing. But that is not enough for us to say that we are not going to embark on our strike. We will surely strike if what we are asking for is not met within this month.”
