The National Labour Commission (NLC) has secured an interim injunction from the High Court against the Ghana Highway Authority Senior Staff Association, Accra, and the Ghana Highway Workers Union (CBMWU-TUC) to halt their industrial strike.
This follows an application filed by the Executive Secretary, Ofosu Asamoah, on November 13.
The application aimed to restrain the Association from continuing their industrial strike action, which commenced on Tuesday, November 12, 2024.
“It is hereby ordered that the Respondents, whether by their executives, officers, members, agents, servants, employees, or other persons, are restrained from further continuation of the industrial strike action commenced on November 12, 2024,” the court stated.
The court further ordered that the Association comply with the NLC’s directives dated November 6, 2024, and call off the industrial strike action.”
"The application is granted for 10 days and upon its expiration the Applicant will have to come back to court on notice," the court added.
The Union and Senior Staff Association of the Ghana Highway Authority (GHA) began a nationwide strike on Tuesday, November 12, 2024, in protest against the implementation of the National Roads Authority Act, 2024 (Act 1118).
The strike involved workers at the GHA's head office, regional offices, road maintenance units, and other facilities across the country.
The Association outlined several key demands, including halting the implementation of the Act and revoking appointments made under it, which they argue violate Ghana's Constitution.
“These appointments are void, as they contravene Article 195 of the 1992 Constitution,” the Association said in a statement.
