We have been left with no choice but to take this decision to protect the interest of our members,\u201d the statement read.<\/p>\n<p>MOWAG has instructed mortuary workers in both public and private facilities across the country to halt operations indefinitely beginning November 28. This action is expected to disrupt mortuary services nationwide, potentially affecting funeral arrangements and bereaved families.<\/p>\n<p>The association has repeatedly called attention to poor working conditions, inadequate salaries, and insufficient resources to ensure safe and efficient operations. MOWAG argues that these challenges undermine both the welfare of its members and the quality of mortuary services in Ghana.<\/p>\n<p>Despite announcing the strike, the leadership of MOWAG says it remains open to dialogue, urging authorities to take immediate steps to resolve the impasse.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe hope that even at this late stage, we can still resolve our differences through open and productive discussions,\u201d the statement added.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-1111834\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ghanamma.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/WhatsApp-Image-2024-11-26-at-08.12.42_cb28de64.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"745\" height=\"1080\"  \/><\/p>\n<p><strong>#GhanaPolls2024<\/strong><br \/><strong>#ElectionBureau<\/strong><br \/><strong>#CitiVerify<\/strong><\/p>\n<hr\/>\n<p><em><strong>Explore the world of impactful news with CitiNewsroom on WhatsApp!<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Click on the link to join the Citi Newsroom channel for curated, meaningful stories tailored just for YOU: https:\/\/whatsapp.com\/channel\/0029VaCYzPRAYlUPudDDe53x<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p><em><strong>No spams, just the stories that truly matter! #StayInformed #CitiNewsroom #CNRDigital<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Mortuary Workers Association of Ghana (MOWAG) has officially announced a nationwide strike set to begin on Thursday, November 28, 2024.
