Fuel tanker drivers in Ghana have ended their sit-down strike over poor working conditions. The Ghana National Petroleum Tanker Drivers Union had initiated the indefinite strike on Tuesday, demanding better remuneration and conditions of service.
Following a meeting with stakeholders, the union issued a communique announcing the end of the strike. The statement indicated that a new remuneration framework has been adopted, with implementation expected by the end of June 2024.
At a press conference, union members highlighted that despite an agreed policy framework to improve salaries and working conditions, pending since November 2023, the National Petroleum Authority (NPA) and the sector Ministry had failed to implement it.
