Organised Labour's galamsey strike: GIHOC, GMet bosses threaten to sack staff for participation [VIDEO]

The Board Chairman of the Ghana Meteorological Agency (GMet), Isaac Amoo, has threatened to ensure that any staff from GMet who joins the nationwide strike declared by Organised Labour as part of the fight against illegal mining will be sacked.

His argument is that, GMet was an essential service provider and therefore cannot go on strike.
