The Mortuary Workers Association of Ghana (MOWAG) leadership is scheduled to meet with the National Labour Commission (NLC) today ahead of its members’ planned indefinite strike.
According to the union, the strike was forced by the failure to satisfy all of the workers’ issues.
MOWAG urges the government to put in place the agreed-upon service requirements in 2020.
In an interview with Citi News that was monitored by ATLFM on Tuesday, MOWAG General Secretary Richard Kofi Jordan stated that the government has not demonstrated sufficient commitment to resolve their issues.

“We have a meeting with the NLC at 11 am at the NLC’s office. We are trying to respect the law by going to the commission in the morning because we want to see what the Ministry or, for that matter, the government is bringing on board finally to the table. Then we are able to decide whether we should put Ghanaians through this mess or not. We don’t go into these things in bad faith, or we cannot take an entrenched position. If whatever they present is worthy of taking home, why not?”
“We are not interested in putting Ghanaians through hell. The only reason we are doing this is that we are fed up with the commitments of ‘we will do that,’ and it is not happening,” he stated.
