The Central Region‘s fufu pounders have vowed to go on strike if their pay is not raised.
The GH15 they are paid for their daily labor by members of the Central Regional Fufu Pounders Association has been described as “extremely terrible.”
The workers warned that if their employers don’t raise their pay, they will boycott the job in the upcoming days, according to a 3News story seen by GhanaWeb.
“The work is hard but the pay is not good. So right now, we want to tell our leaders to help us to demand an increment. If we were working in Accra, we would be getting GH¢50 or GH¢70 every day but here, we are paid GH¢15. It is not good. If they increase it for us, we will work for them very well. We want them to increase it to GH¢60 or GH¢70,†members of the association told journalists in Twi.
They did not state exactly when the strike will happen.
