We have only expressed an intention to strike, but it hasn\u2019t started. Mortuaries are open, and our services are ready,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>He also urged those who had concerns about retrieving bodies for funerals to proceed, stating, \u201cAll those who have done funerals and are afraid that they might not have their bodies, I\u2019m sorry to disappoint them; the bodies are there. Everybody should go pick up his\/her body tomorrow, or Friday.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The suspension of the strike is a relief for the public who rely on mortuary workers for essential services.<\/p>\n<p>This development follows a prolonged dispute between the Mortuary Workers Association of Ghana and the government over their conditions of service, with demands for better wages, improved working conditions, and enhanced PPE.<\/p>\n<p>In October 2023, MOWAG threatened to go on strike if their concerns were not addressed.<\/p>\n<p>While a meeting with the government took place, a resolution was not reached at that time.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Source:\u00a0<\/strong>classfmonline.com<\/p>\n<p><!-- AI CONTENT END 1 --><\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>After a meeting with the National Labour Commission (NLC) on Wednesday, 29 November 2023, the Mortuary Workers Association of Ghana (MOWAG) has decided to call off its planned strike to address concerns regarding their conditions of service.
