The Ghana National Petroleum Tanker Drivers Union has initiated an indefinite sit-down strike, demanding improved working conditions.
They assert that a policy framework designed to enhance their salaries and overall working environment has been pending approval by the National Petroleum Authority (NPA) board since November 2023.
Despite their efforts to push for its endorsement, the NPA board has yet to vote on it for implementation. Vice President of the union, Sunday Alabi, revealed that they submitted a petition to the Presidency seeking approval for the framework but have not received a response.
Until the framework gains approval, they vow to continue their strike, emphasizing the necessity of better conditions for their members’ livelihoods.
