Cocoa Carriers Association commences indefinite sit-down strike on October 7.
In 2022, the Association staged a similar strike, calling for wage increases and better working conditions.
The leadership of the Cocoa Carriers Association has directed its members at the Cocoa Marketing Company Limited depots in Tema, Takoradi, and Kumasi to begin an indefinite sit-down strike starting Monday, October 7, 2024, over concerns regarding their working conditions.
That strike resulted in thousands of bags of cocoa beans being left unattended at various warehouses of the Cocoa Marketing Company Limited.
“We will report to work but remain at the gates without performing any duties until our demands are met,” he explained. “I want the management of COCBOD and our directors to understand that this is not a personal attack but a fight for a just cause.”
