Cocoa carriers Association of Ghana is boycotting their services nationwide over the failure of management of the Ghana Cocoa Board to increase the labour fees for carrying cocoa beans at various warehouses.
The group is demanding the board for an upward adjustment of the fee from an initial 1.70 cedis to 3 cedis for carrying a bag of cocoa beans.
The leadership of the 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 on Monday, October 7, 2024.
In 2022, the association embarked on a similar industrial action, demanding wage increases and improved working conditions.
The strike led to thousands of bags of cocoa beans being abandoned at various Cocoa Marketing Company Limited warehouses.
