GUTA Suspends Strike, Members Urged to Reopen Shops

The Ghana Union of Traders Association has suspended its strike action.

This is contained in a press release signed by the General Secretary of the Association, Alpha A. Shaban.

The Ghana Union of Traders Association (GUTA) has ended its strike after two days and urged its members to reopen their shops today, Friday.

According to the release, the decision comes on the back of a meeting with the King of the Ga State, Mantse Nii Tackie Teiko Tsuru II who has promised to take the matter up to the appropriate authorities for urgent solution.

The release also stated that the leadership of the Association was given the opportunity to meet the President, Nana Akufo-Addo, and lay their grievances and recommendations before him.

GUTA had been protesting because of Ghana’s forex challenges and the rising cost of doing business.
