The leadership of the Cocoa Carriers Association has officially suspended its indefinite sit-down strike, which commenced on Monday, October 7.
This decision follows a pivotal engagement with the management of the Cocoa Marketing Company (CMC) and a representative from the Ghana Cocoa Board.
After a tense period of negotiations, workers are now hopeful for improvements in their conditions of service as discussions continue.
In an interview with Citi Business News, Raymond Atanga Abobiga, the National Chairman of the Cocoa Carriers Association, revealed that management has requested employees to return to their posts, promising to address their grievances within the week.
Workers at the Tema, Takoradi, and Kumasi depots have resumed their duties, bolstered by the prospect of resolution and better treatment in the near future.
Mr. Abobiga emphasized the association’s commitment to working collaboratively with management while awaiting a fair outcome.
“We negotiated with our directors and COCOBOD and we concluded that we have to continue working while they sit down and reconsider our increment. So we decided to work today [Tuesday, October 8] and also expect something good from them,” he stated.
