In a statement from the leadership of GUTA dated Thursday, October 20, it said the strike action announced earlier this week has been suspended.

“We wish to sincerely thank His Majesty King Nii Tackie eiko Tsuru II, for his intervention and wise counselling.
“We also thank the office of Council of State and all its honourable members and staff for playing important role in this matter right from the early stages to date.
“Finally, we thank His Excellency the President of the Republic, Nana Addo Dankwa Akuffo Addo for understanding and appreciating the degree of our challenges and setting up a joint working committee for expeditious action.
“In view of all this goodwill from these great personalities, we wish to appeal to our teaming members and the entire trading community who participated in this strike action to reopen their shops from tomorrow (21″ October, 2022) as we continue to pursue the process for immediate solution,” part of a GUTA statement signed by General Secretary Alpha A.
