The leadership of the Cocoa Carriers Association has instructed its members at the Tema, Takoradi, and Kumasi depots of the Cocoa Marketing Company Limited to commence an indefinite sit-down strike starting Monday, October 7, 2024, over issues related to their conditions of service.
In 2022, members of the Association undertook a similar strike, demanding wage increases and improved working conditions.
The previous strike led to thousands of bags of cocoa beans being left unattended at various Cocoa Marketing Company Limited warehouses.
National Chairman of the Cocoa Carriers Association, Raymond Atanga Abobiga, in an interview with Citi News on Sunday, issued the directive, urging all members to participate fully in the upcoming indefinite strike.
“We are going to report at work but will be at the gate of the various warehouses and then we are not going to work until they attend to our needs and our demands.
“I want the management of COCBOD and our directors to know that we are not against an individual and that we are fighting a just cause,” he stated.
