GMA calls off strike, instructs members to resume duties
On July 15, 2024, 4:15 PM
The Ghana Medical Association (GMA) has called off its strike, effective today, July 15, 2024.
As a result of this development, the GMA has instructed its members to cease the industrial action and resume their duties.
âFollowing an emergency meeting on 15th July, 2024, Organised Labour has decided to suspend the industrial action with immediate effect following a formal communication by SSNIT confirming the termination of the sale of the 60% shares.â
âNEC, in the light of this decision, suspends with immediate effect, the earlier issued roadmap for industrial action and directs that all members return to post,â the release added.
On July 12, GMA initiated actions to get its members to lay down their tools in solidarity with its umbrella body, organised labour.
As a result, the strike started in some health facilities today, July 15, but it was short-lived.
Meanwhile, organised labour has announced an end to the strike and issued a one-month ultimatum to SSNIT to address all concerns.
