NIB union leaders signal inability to join Organized Labour strike over galamsey

The leadership of two unions at the National Investment Bank (NIB) has indicated that they may not be able to participate in the strike action declared by Organized Labour, which is set for October 10, 2024, in protest of the deteriorating situation of illegal mining otherwise known as galamsey in the country.

In a letter dated October 9, 2024, addressed to all staff, the unionized bodies at NIB, specifically the Professional Managerial Staff Union (PMSU) and the local unions, explained that due to the unique operational circumstances of the bank, they may be unable to observe the planned strike.

The letter acknowledged the concerns raised by Organized Labour but stressed that NIB's current situation limits their ability to fully partake in the strike action.

Parts of the letter reads: "All staff are expected to provide full service to customers without interruption."

However, NIB said it is in solidarity with Organised labour in the fight against galamsey.
