Small-scale miners seek engagements with gov’t, organised labor on measures to deal with illegal mining

The Ghana National Association of Small-Scale Miners (GNASSM) seeks discussions with the government and organized labour to tackle illegal mining, following labour's planned strike on October 10.

Organized Labour demands a state of emergency and a halt to mining in forests.

GNASSM shares concerns over the environmental damage caused by illegal mining and urges collaborative action.

The association is ready to deploy task forces to stop illegal miners and calls for stronger enforcement of mining laws.

They also request that Organized Labour reconsider the strike to prevent further harm to the fragile economy.
