The ECG workers have been striking in protest of the planned concession of management of the company to a private entity, describing the recent happenings within the company as worrying. The Director of Public Affairs and External Relations, Nana Yaa Jantuah spoke to Citi News and implored the ECG workers to put their customers first. PUWU has argued that the strikes are in protest of what it described as a disrespectful attitude exhibited towards them by the Millennium Development Authority (MIDA).
