Mortuary workers to strike over unfavourable working conditions

The Mortuary Workers Association of Ghana (MOWAG) says they will embark on a strike if their complaints submitted to the Health Ministry does not receive any fruitful outcomes by November 19.

The Association says its members have been working more than the required eight hours without being allowed to take their annual vacation.

A statement signed by General Secretary of the Association, Richard Kofi Jordan, also stated there is no provision for universal medical checkups for workers among many other illegalities they want the government to correct.

He told Joy News they have sent many proposals regarding their problem in October 2017 and subsequently in June and September 2018 to the Ministry of Health but have not received any response.
